10 symptoms of low bone density

Sonali Sharma

Low bone density can lead to bone pain or tenderness, especially in the spine, hips, or other weight-bearing joints.

Increased susceptibility to fractures.

Swelling in the ankles and feet may be a sign of circulatory issues or heart problems

Difficulty in moving the foot or ankle as freely as before could be due to joint deterioration, ligament stiffness, or inflammation.

Initial discomfort or aching in the feet and ankles that are not necessarily tied to a specific injury or activity.

Loss of flexibility and range of motion in the joints, making daily activities challenging.

Feeling tired or experiencing pain after short periods of walking or standing.

The development of bunions, hammertoes, or flat feet that weren’t present before.

Low bone density can weaken the bones in the wrist, which can lead to weaker grip strength.
