A member asked:
I have osteoporosis but it acts like symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. what should i do?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Arthritis tests: Osteoporosis does not cause symptoms in the absence of fractures. If joint pain is present a rheumatologist could order tests to determine if rheumatoid arthritis or other types of arthritis is present.

Talk with doctor: Osteoporosis does not hurt! it is a completely painless disease until you break something. This is not what is causing your symptoms.
