Reasons for

The following are the main causes of joint pain:

• Overweight. It leads to a breakdown in metabolism( metabolism) due to a high load on the human musculoskeletal system.
• Physical stress. High loads lead to a maximum loss of nutrients in the bone tissue. There is a shortage of "building material" for bones.
• Age. Over time, the bones lose collagen, calcium and minerals. The bones become brittle and brittle.
• Contusions and fractures of also lead to ossalgia.
• Prolonged intake of hormonal drugs , used in oncology, also contributes to the appearance of pain.
• Deficiency in the body of vitamin D causes osteomyelitis, in which the softening of bone tissue occurs.
• Infectious diseases. Ossalgia appears with tuberculosis of bones, syphilis.

Symptoms of

Symptomatic of this disease is determined by the clinical course of the underlying disease, against which appears ossalgia. These are usually pains in the bones, having a weakly expressed character.

Children with bone pains are disturbed at certain intervals. At visual inspection the surgeon and the traumatologist to define the reason of a pain can not. X-ray also does not show any changes. The result will be seen from the biochemical analysis of blood.

2. Laboratory methods of research.
3. Instrumental research methods.

Narrow specialists are involved in the diagnosis:

• traumatologist;
• rheumatologist,
• infectious disease specialist.

For the detection of bone pathology and structure, an X-ray, MRI, is required. A general and biochemical blood test is performed if there is a suspected infectious disease.

Treatment of
