| Bones are the vital foundation on which the human body is built. Learning about bones can help resolve bony issues like osteoporosis, osteosarcoma, osteomyelitis, fractures and medical emergencies related to bone injuries. So what are bones? Bones are the rigid structures inside our bodies that are made up of carbonated hydroxyapatite, a form of calcium. Bones have a honey comb like structure making them strong and rigid. They support the body and its organs, facilitate movement, protect internal organs and help sound conduction. Moreover, they are response for crucial blood cell production. They carry out functions such as storing minerals like calcium and phosphorous and fatty substances, generating growth hormones, promoting acid balance and endocrines generation. Unfortunately, bones are susceptible to various diseases like osteoporosis, rheumatism, arthritis, etc • Osteoporosis: Occurs as bone minerals and bone mass deteriorate • Osteosarcoma: Is a cancer of the bone cells • Osteomyelitis: Is an infection related to the bone marrow • Rheumatism and arthritis: Relate to the joints, bones as well as tissues and organs close to them Bone fractures: Fractures are caused due to physical trauma, injuries and accidents. These can be also due to illnesses and diseases. These illnesses should be treated with care to avoid complications. You must ask questions about bone diseases and symptoms to your doctor to know about bone illnesses and treatments. Kids often suffer from issues like stunted bone growth. Symptoms of bone diseases: Most bone diseases have common symptoms. These symptoms are as follows: • Bone pain and joint pain especially near the bones affected by the disease • Appearance of bone deformities, bone lesion, loss of structural integrity, bone cancer • Appearance of bone fractures, bone displacements, contusions, nearby muscle sprains • Nearby organ inflammations or pain along with related fatigue, weakness • Fatigue and anemia along with tiredness • Increased calcium levels in the blood along with digestive disorders Bone diseases also show up as bone chills, fever, night sweating and chronic pain. Sudden injuries and accidental trauma must be treated as a medical emergency. Symptomatic observations can pin point the location of fractures. During medical emergency, diagnosis of bone pain is usually followed by immediate x-raying and CT or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans. These diagnostic procedures are also useful in bone related diseases. Bone diseases can also be diagnosed using blood and urine tests or bone biopsies. Bone diseases can be treated by medication and therapies like physiotherapy, chemo therapy, radiation therapy etc. Bone fractures are usually treated with plaster casts and surgeries. Bone diseases can be prevented in most cases. If you want to prevent bone diseases follow these simple tips: • Exercise regularly; practice bone strengthening exercises • Include vegetable high in phosphorus, vitamin D and calcium • Drink milk. Avoid carbonated soft drinks • Maintain an active lifestyle and give up on alcohol and smoking • Basic road safety and sports safety rules can save you from accidental trauma and injuries Bone health is thus essential for better life.
