Buy Low Drugs can make it affordable to treat your osteoporosis with medications that can ease your pain. Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become weak and brittle. If left unchecked, osteoporosis can progress painlessly until a bone breaks (fracture). Any bone can be affected, but of special concern are fractures of the hip, spine, and wrist.

Throughout life, old bone is removed and new bone is added to the skeleton. During childhood and adolescence, new bone is added faster than old bone is removed. As a result, bones become heavier, larger and denser. Peak bone mass is reached around age 30. From that point on, more bone is lost than is replaced. If not treated, bone losses may lead to osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is more likely to occur if optimal bone mass was not achieved during the bone-building years.

Bone density also plays a role in bone health. Bone density is determined in part by the amount of calcium, phosphorus and other minerals contained within the framework of the bone. As the mineral content of a bone (especially calcium) decreases, the bone becomes weaker. Getting enough calcium and vitamin D and exercising regularly can help ensure that bones stay strong throughout life.

Risk Factors Include:

• Being female
• Risk increases with age
• Being small or underweight
• Caucasian and Asian women are most prone
• Family members with osteoporosis
• Post-menopausal status
• Abnormal cessation of menstrual periods (amenorrhea) due to anorexia nervosa, rigorous exercise, or an endocrinological problem
• Low-calcium diet
• Medications:
  • Immunosuppressants, such as prednisone and other steroids, methotrexate, cyclosporine
  • Thyroid drugs
  • Anticonvulsants
  • Aluminum-containing antacids
  • Cholesterol-lowering drugs
  • Long-term heparin therapy
• Low estrogen levels in women
• Low testosterone levels in men
• Inactive lifestyle
• Too little sunlight
• Depression
• Anorexia
• Cigarette smoking
• Excessive use of alcohol, coffee and tea

Osteoporosis does not usually cause symptoms. Pain is the only symptom, and generally occurs when the bones have broken or collapsed. However, some symptoms can include; severe back pain with fracture of the vertebrae, wrists, hips, or other bones, and loss of height, with stooped posture (kyphosis).

To diagnosis your condition, your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a physical exam. Early signs of osteoporosis can be detected with bone density testing, as well as blood and urine tests, to test for calcium levels or substances created when bone is broken down.
