Osteoporosis is common, but people often do not pay enough attention to it. Currently, the incidence of osteoporosis is increasing. Low back pain is one of the main symptoms of osteoporosis, and for those who are older, it is important to pay more attention to such “minor problems” as low back pain, which may be fractured if you sneeze! What are the causes of low back pain? 1, orthopedic diseases, such as: osteoporosis and the resulting thoracolumbar vertebral fractures, spinal bone and joint hyperplasia and degeneration, lumbar disc protrusion, spinal stenosis, chronic strain injury of the low back; 2, respiratory diseases, such as: lung cancer, pleurisy, can cause pain in the back, side shoulder nail area; 3, cardiovascular diseases, such as: angina, aortic aneurysm; 4, digestive system diseases, gastroduodenal ulcer, pancreatitis; 5, urinary system diseases, gastroduodenal ulcer, pancreatitis. pancreatitis; 5, urinary system diseases, such as: urinary tumors, stones; 6, prostatitis, prostate cancer in men; adnexitis, uterine prolapse, pelvic inflammatory disease in women, can also cause pain in the lumbosacral region. Therefore, once you find low back pain, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible to clarify the cause and treat the cause. What are the symptoms of osteoporosis other than the symptoms of pain? 1, spinal deformity: height shortening (in the 60s and 70s, height is 5-10 cm shorter than when young, or even more), hunchback, these symptoms usually appear after the pain has passed; 2, fracture: the most common osteoporotic fractures are hip fracture, femoral neck fracture, femoral intertrochanteric fracture. Low back pain can be caused by a post-compression fracture of the thoracolumbar vertebrae; others include distal radius fracture, wrist fracture, and proximal humerus fracture. These can be fractures that occur with very little force in daily life; opening a window, holding a cup, or even sneezing can lead to osteoporotic fractures. If you suspect that you have osteoporosis, go to the hospital to get a bone density test. There are two diagnostic criteria for osteoporosis: a T value below -2.5 or a fragility fracture (a fracture caused by no or minor trauma), and the diagnosis can be confirmed if one of these criteria is met.
