Paget’s Disease
Paget’s disease (osteitis deformans) is a chronic bone disorder that causes excessive breakdown and regrowth of bone tissue. Because this process occurs at a faster rate than what your body needs, it doesn’t give the bones enough time to harden. Therefore, the bones become fragile and can break easily. The condition typically affects only a part of the body — typically in the skull, pelvis, spine, or legs.
The condition is sometimes confused with arthritis because patients sometimes feel joint pain. However, it is not a form of arthritis. Complications may include repeated bone fractures, pinched nerves, or osteoarthritis. Symptoms include pain, tingling, and numbness. If the disease is located in the skull, it may also cause headaches and/or hearing loss.
