Osteoporosis

A piece of paper angled just so can slice right through skin of you hand make you wine at the sting of a papers cut.A tiny dust particle that enter your eye can make you teary eyed.Is the human body that delicate? Asolutely so and yet the body is also incredibly strong.Did you know that it can take the weight of up to six American professional football players to break a thighbone? Human bones have the breaking strength of cast iron meaning taht breaking a bone would require as much pressure as it would take to break a cast iron pan.
Amazigly all that strength is no match for osteoporosis.This crippling disease makes bones so brittle that a slight fall can break a bone.In its advanced stages a child's hug or even sneeze can result in multiple breaks.Ironically for all the hardship it vicims are largely unaware of their condition.Early diagnosis of the diseases is difficult precisely because there are no symptoms.By the time patients come to us complaining of back and other pains it's already too late.Osteoporosis has already progressed and a fracture already exist  say orthopedic sureon Dr. Angelo Ochoa.
