10 Symptoms of Rickets
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #3: Bone Pain
We tend not to feel much sensation in our bones. They are generally protected by the rest of our bodies so we only usually feel pain in the case of a physical impact. When we do feel sensation in our bones, however, it can be quite unbearable.
Patients with rickets are likely to find that their bones can be quite sore and painful. It tends to be more noticeable in bones that take a lot of weight, such as the legs, pelvis and spine. The pain makes it difficult for them to walk, causing them to have an unusual gait such as waddling.
