Warning Signs Of Osteomalacia

Bone Pain

Bone pain is a common feature of osteomalacia since, of course, softening of the bones is downright painful. This type of pain will most commonly manifest in the lower back, legs, and pelvic girdle. When a person stands upright and puts their full weight onto the affected area, the pain can worsen. Also, the pain can become more pronounced during the night and gets triggered by standing up or making sudden movements while laying down. Over time, the bones can become so weakened that fractures are easily sustained, which makes it important to address this type of pain in a timely fashion with a medical team.
