Guide To Fibrous Dysplasia Warning Signs

Pain In The Bones

Even without total bone fractures, it's common for fibrous dysplasia patients to experience pain in the bones. This pain may affect multiple bones or just one, and will usually increase when a patient puts weight on the affected bones, since the bones are too weak to provide the necessary structural support. In many other cases, bone pain will go away with rest. However, with fibrous dysplasia, the bone pain continues even after resting because the weakness is still there. Bone pain like this might interrupt an individual's sleep. This pain is often the precursor to fractures, as it's a sign the bones are strained beyond typical pain tolerance levels.
