Common Symptoms Of Rickets

Pain In Spine, Pelvis, And Legs

The softness of the bones of a patient with rickets makes their skeletons ill-equipped to support their body, which leads to pain, especially in weight-bearing areas such as the legs, spine, and pelvis. The child may also have pain in their arms. There is not just pain in these areas, but the bones in those areas are tender and are at risk of fractures because they are soft. The spine may also be curved and the bones of the pelvis not only painful and tender but deformed. This only compounds the pain the child feels.
