Chronic Bone Pain

Chronic bone pain is persistent discomfort in bones lasting weeks or months, often resulting from infection, tumors, osteoporosis, or old untreated fractures. It may present as deep aching pain, swelling, tenderness, and reduced mobility. Diagnosis involves blood tests, X-rays, MRI, bone scans, or biopsy to identify underlying causes. Complications include chronic infection, increased fracture risk, and impaired mobility. Management focuses on early diagnosis, appropriate treatment, maintaining bone health through calcium and vitamin D, and lifestyle modifications to prevent further damage.
