骨痛通常被描述为深层或穿透性的疼痛。晚上通常会更糟，当您移动受影响的肢体时。

骨痛，压痛或成就是一个普遍的问题，尤其是在中年或年龄较大的人中。随着年龄的增长，您的身体经历了许多变化。肌肉大小和骨密度通常会随着您的活跃而降低。这使您更容易过度使用损伤和骨折。

While bone pain is most likely due to decreased bone density or an injury to your bone, it can also be a sign of a serious underlying medical condition. Bone pain or tenderness could be the result of infection, an interruption in the blood supply, or cancer.

这些条件需要立即医疗护理。如果您无法解释的骨痛，请不要忽略它。与您的医生预约以了解原因。

骨痛可能是由多种疾病引起的，包括：

  • bone fracture, or break
  • overuse or repetitive movement injury
  • 激素缺乏，通常是由于更年期
  • infection
  • 骨癌
  • cancer that has spread from the point of origin, or metastatic malignancy
  • cancer of the blood cells, or leukemia
  • interruption in the blood supply caused by conditions like sickle cell anemia

There are also some other possible causes. Osteoporosis is a condition in which your bone mass is reduced below what is considered normal.

Age, hormonal changes, and lack of physical activity are factors that contribute to decreasing bone density. This can increase your likelihood of developing bone fractures and suffering bone pain.

If you have bone pain for no obvious reason, or if you have previously been treated for cancer, you should consult with your physician.

您的医生会想知道您的完整病史，包括先前诊断的疾病以及骨痛的细节。这些可能包括：

  • 痛苦的位置
  • when your pain began
  • the level of pain and whether or not it is increasing
  • if your pain changes with your activities
  • any other symptoms you may have

Depending on the specifics of your pain, as well as a thorough physical examination, additional testing may include:

  • X-rays of the bone that hurts (to identify breaks, fractures, and abnormalities)
  • CT扫描，MRI或受影响区域或整个身体的骨扫描（鉴定肿瘤或其他异常）
  • 血液研究
  • urine studies
  • hormone level studies
  • pituitary and adrenal gland function studies

Your doctor will determine your treatment based on your diagnosis. If you have any bone fractures or breaks, those must be addressed. You will require a long-term treatment plan specific to that diagnosis if you are found to have any underlying conditions, such as osteoporosis or cancer

Prescription medications may include:

  • drugs to relieve inflammation
  • 抗生素，如果您感染了
  • hormones, if you have a hormone imbalance
  • pain relievers

Complementary therapies for people with cancer include acupuncture, massage, and relaxation techniques.

物理疗法或定期运动可以帮助您感觉更好，增加力量和耐力，同时增加骨骼质量。但是，请确保在开始进行骨痛运动方案之前，请与您的医生联系。

Some exercises that might help alleviate bone pain from specific causes include:

Low back pain

伸展运动,散步,游泳,骑自行车,和上杉达也t strength training can ease lower back pain.

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis causes your bones to lose density and become weak and brittle, increasing your chances of bone fractures. Exercising several times a week can help build strength.

Walking, treadmill, climbing stairs, dancing, swimming, and bicycling are recommended. Working with light weights can also help build strength.

Osteoarthritis

If you have arthritis, it may be tempting to avoid exercise. But that is unwise. Exercise helps to keep your joints flexible and can reduce pain in the long run. A balanced exercise regimen of stretching, walking, swimming, and bicycling can help.

Avoid exercises that put stress on your joints, such as running, competitive sports, and aerobics.

关节更换

如果您进行了总替换，请避免在关节上施加太大的压力。游泳和骑自行车是不错的选择。
