What Is Osteomalacia?
5. Symptoms
Patients will not usually experience any symptoms from osteomalacia early on. As the condition develops, however, patients can begin to find that their muscles feel weaker, and that there is pain in their bones. The pain is often described as an aching pain, and will likely be located in the lower back and in the lower parts of the body.
The pain will usually subside with rest. However, the patient will feel more pain when they put pressure on their bones, and the pain will likely be worse at night. The condition can also make it harder for the patient to walk and they can develop an unusual gait.
