‘I’m not a woman, so I won’t get osteoporosis.’
‘I get enough sun, and I don’t have calcium deficiency, I won’t get it.’
‘Well, I’m a woman and It’s inevitable, so why bother?’
Have you ever thought of Osteoporosis and thought any of this? Or perhaps you haven’t thought of osteoporosis at all, after all, it’s something that only old people get, right?
Osteoporosis, a condition that causes bones to grow weak and brittle, can lead to frequent fractures, painful movements and usually occurs in old age.
It is also a condition that creeps up on you. Because osteoporosis doesn’t usually come knocking with squeaking joints and warning pangs. It can show up as acute pain, or even a stress fracture from simply walking.
