The primary symptom of osteoporosis is pain, particularly concentrated along both sides of the spine. This pain typically improves with rest. As the condition progresses, patients may experience muscle cramps. In severe cases, bone strength diminishes significantly, increasing the risk of fractures. When symptoms of osteoporosis appear, prompt medical treatment is essential to prevent serious harm to the body.
