Fractures
People with osteoporosis are prone to fractures because their bones are weaker. Some people experience fractures from just a simple bump or strain. “Still recovering from a fall that resulted in a fracture.”

Depression
Depression is very common in people with osteoporosis. Pain from fractures, reduced mobility, and other factors contribute to depression. “Feeling depressed. My arm broke again.”

Anxiety
People with osteoporosis may feel anxious about new fractures. “How long after getting compression fractures do you stop obsessing that every pain, pull, and ache is another fracture?”

Stooped posture
Weakened vertebrae can lead to a stooped posture or rounded hump in the upper back. “How can I stop from being stooped over?”

Bone loss
Some bone loss is normal with age. Osteoporosis makes bones less dense and more porous and delicate, which makes them likelier to break. “I need help building bone and preventing any further bone loss.”
