The data available on the specific bone disease of Osteoporosis, on the average at least 44 million individuals within the United States alone are known to have some form of Osteoporosis and more than 68% of these unfortunate individuals are women. Osteoporosis is a bone disease which attacks the tissue directly and leads to bone tissue loss. It causes the bones to lose the calcium density that normally protects us from bone fractures and breaks. Some of the other very serious issues of concern with Osteoporosis can be loss of height, severe back pain and even deformity of the bones. Osteoporosis has been known to impair the body's walking ability and in severe cases, there are permanent disability due to deformed bone structure. If you are an excessive smoker or drink, you are more prone to this specific disease. If you are one that has an excessive lacking in physical activities, you will also be taking a bigger risk in a future of Osteoporosis. Your family history, constant lack of a calcium intake, and even some medications can eventually be the cause of Osteoporosis. When it comes to the bone disease of Arthritis, this is just a blanket term pertaining to the specific problems directly relating to the joints and bone tissues between and around the bones. The two specific kinds of arthritis that tends to be the most common are specifically the bone disease of Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. The very painful degenerative disease of the joints that pertains directly to Osteoarthritis commonly affects the hips, the knees, the neck, the lower back area, and the hand joints. Rheumatoid Arthritis is specifically an auto-immune inflammatory disease that may specifically cause the hands, wrists, elbows, knees, feet, ankles, and even the shoulders to swell, often be stiff to normal movements., It is also known to cause deformity of otherwise normal body movements. The cause of this auto-immune disease is when the body decides to inappropriately release certain enzyme that attacks the healthy tissues of the body. There may be fatigue, fever, loss of weight, anemia, inflammation of the eyes, skin bumps, and even inflammation of the lungs. People after 30 are facing these two problems without much of a remedy. Knee pain is a very common issue. Obesity is also considered as a major reason for the knee pain. All arthritides feature pain. Pain patterns may differ depending on the arthritides and the location. Rheumatoid arthritis is generally worse in the morning and associated with stiffness; in the early stages, patients often have no symptoms after a morning shower. In the aged and children, pain might not be the main presenting feature; the aged patient simply moves less, the infantile patient refuses to use the affected limb.
