Are weak bones a sign of any thing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends:: It depends why one has weak bones: frail or fragile bones are usually due to osteoporosis (and sometimes due to genetic disorders such as osteogesesis imperfect, and secondary to cancer, metastasis). Week bones due to osteoporosis: usually secondary to postmenopausal status (sex-hormone deficiency), age, or due to other medical disorders. It is very important to identify and treat the latter be.
