HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR BONE PAINS

Bone pain, tenderness, or achiness is a common problem, particularly among those who are middle aged or older. As you age, your body undergoes many changes. Muscle size and bone density generally decrease as you become less active, making you more prone to overuse injury and bone fractures. You can lower your chances of fractures and stress injuries by regularly performing low-impact exercises.

While bone pain is most likely due to decreased bone density or an injury to your bone, it can also be a sign of a serious underlying medical condition. Bone pain or tenderness can be the result of infection, an interruption in the blood supply, or cancer. These conditions require immediate medical attention. If you have unexplained bone pain, do not ignore it. Make an appointment with your doctor to find out why.

Causes of Bone Pain

Bone pain can be caused by a wide variety of conditions, including:--a bone fracture (break)overuse or repetitive movement injury-hormone deficiency (usually due to menopause)-infection-bone cancer-metastatic malignancy (cancer that has spread from the point of origin)-leukemia (cancer of blood cells)--interruption in the blood supply (as in sickle cell anemia, for example)

Osteoporosis is a condition in which your bone mass is reduced below what is considered normal. Age, hormonal changes, and lack of physical activity are factors that contribute to decreasing bone density. This can increase your likelihood of developing bone fractures and suffering bone pain.
