Dr. Lin Yunfei
Osteoporosis can cause generalized pain, typically due to decreased bone density; prolonged sitting or standing may trigger widespread discomfort. Patients are advised to ensure adequate sleep, rest sufficiently, consume calcium-rich foods, and engage regularly in appropriate aerobic exercise—all of which can help alleviate osteoporosis symptoms.
