A member asked:
Can osteopenia cause achy bone pain, like in the hips and lower back, i was recently diagnosed with this and been having this kind of pain for awhile?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: Osteopenia is simply a decrease in bone mineralization, which could progress to osteoporosis and associated increased fracture risk. Neither condition is painful by itself.
