Possible complications of Paget's disease of bone: fractures, arthritis, hearing loss and warning signs.
Most people with Paget's disease of bone do well, especially when it is found and treated early. Complications depend on which bones are affected.
Bone and joint complications
Nerve-related complications
Other complications
Ayurvedic view
Traditional texts describe bone pain, deformity and weakness in terms of Asthi dhatu disturbance. This is an interpretive framework. Supportive care should not replace specialist monitoring.
Emergency signs
Sudden severe bone pain after a minor fall, inability to bear weight, new weakness or numbness in the legs, loss of bladder or bowel control.
See a doctor if pain changes, a bone swells, or hearing worsens.
Remember
Treatment can reduce complications. Regular follow-up lets problems be caught early.
