Symptom #4: Slow Healing Fractures
Even the healthiest of skeletons can acquire fractures. All it takes is sufficient force in the wrong spot and physics takes care of the rest. Medical assistance is often required to help ensure that the bone is reset into its natural position. It is then up to the body to get on with the work with repairing the break.
Bone fractures are never a good thing, and they are notoriously painful, but at least the patient will know they can recover. People with osteoporosis, however, are likely to find that their fractures will take a longer time to heal than people without the condition.
