• Back Pain

  Signs of Senile Osteoporosis Low back pain is common, and may radiate from the back outwardly. Back pain is worse when standing, especially for prolonged periods, and is usually relieved by lying down. [osteoporosis.newlifeoutlook.com]

  Symptoms of senile osteoporosis include pain in the lower back, radiating through the back outwardly and in the standing position, back pain becomes adverse, extenuating through a lying down position. With this issue, mid-back fractures also arise. [beammed.com]

  Back pain due to vertebral fracture is a common expression of this disorder, yet surprisingly little information is available regarding the incidence of vertebral atrophy in older persons. [annals.org]

  A lumbosacral film was taken of all patients, who were then divided into two groups: patients with no back pain were graded as 0, 1 by Seville's index (normal group); and those who had frequent and longstanding back pain were graded as 2,3,4 by Seville's [healio.com]

  At such moments, the patient may feel back pain that is worse when walking or standing. In the case of compression fracture of multiple vertebrae simultaneously possible curvature of the spine, inducing muscle spasm and pain. [back.vsebolezni.com]
