Feedback:
Osteoporosis is usually a silent disorder. Often, the first manifestations of the disorder are those that accompany a skeletal fracture—a vertebral compression fracture or fracture of the hip, pelvis, humerus, or other bones. The onset of the disease is not typically marked by pain or decreased range of motion. Clients with osteoporosis are not noted to crave foods that are high in calcium.
