It is called osteoporosis. This is the loss of bone density, due to hole forming in the bone. Fortunately, osteoporosis is somewhat reversible.

Hi Visu !!!\n\n"Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to break. If not prevented or if left untreated, osteoporosis can progress painlessly until a bone breaks. These broken bones, also known as fractures, occur typically in the hip, spine, and wrist.\n\nAny bone can be affected, but of special concern are fractures of the hip and spine. A hip fracture almost always requires hospitalization and major surgery. It can impair a person's ability to walk unassisted and may cause prolonged or permanent disability or even death. Spinal or vertebral fractures also have serious consequences, including loss of height, severe back pain, and deformity."\n\n----------------------------------------------------\n\n"Reduction in the quantity of bone or atrophy of skeletal tissue; an age-related disorder characterized by decreased bone mass and increased susceptibility to fractures." - From Stedman's Medical Dictionary. \n\n\nPlease go through the below articles for valuable data about osteoporosis.\n\n>>> Naveen Kumar

The medical term for bone spurs is osteophytes, and they represent an enlargement of the normal bony structure. Basically, osteophytes are a radiographic marker of spinal degeneration (aging) and are by and large a normal finding as we age. Over the age of 60, bone spurs are actually quite common.

Joints\n\nA joint, or articulation, is the place where two bones come together. There are three types of joints classified by the amount of movement they allow: immovable, slightly movable, and freely movable.\n\nImmovable joints are synarthroses. In this type of joint, the bones are in very close contact and are separated only by a thin layer of fibrous connective tissue. An example of a synarthrosis is the suture in the skull between skull bones.\n\nSlightly movable joints are called amphiarthroses. This type of joint is characterized by bones that are connected by hyaline cartilage (fibro cartilage). The ribs that connect to the sternum are an example of an amphiarthrosis joint.\n\nMost of the joints in the adult human body are freely movable joints. This type of joint is called a diarthrosis joint. There are six types of diarthroses joints. These are:\n\nBall-and-Socket: The ball-shaped end of one bone fits into a cup shaped socket on the other bone allowing the widest range of motion including rotation. Examples include the shoulder and hip.\n\nCondyloid: Oval shaped condyle fits into elliptical cavity of another allowing angular motion but not rotation. This occurs between the metacarpals (bones in the palm of the hand) and phalanges (fingers) and between the metatarsals (foot bones excluding heel) and phalanges (toes).\n\nSaddle: This type of joint occurs when the touching surfaces of two bones have both concave and convex regions with the shapes of the two bones complementing one other and allowing a wide range of movement. The only saddle joint in the body is in the thumb.\n\nPivot: Rounded or conical surfaces of one bone fit into a ring of one or tendon allowing rotation. An example is the joint between the axis and atlas in the neck.\n\nHinge: A convex projection on one bone fits into a concave depression in another permitting only flexion and extension as in the elbow and knee joints.\n\nGliding: Flat or slightly flat surfaces move against each other allowing sliding or twisting without any circular movement. This happens in the carpals in the wrist and the tarsals in the ankle. \n\nP.S.  does this help you?

There are three major types of bone cancer. They are very rare and predominately strike children and young adults.\n\nAccording to the American Cancer Society\n"In 2006, about 2,760 new cases of cancer of the bones and joints will be diagnosed, and about 1,260 deaths from these cancers are expected. Primary cancers of bones account for less than 0.2% of all cancers."\n\nThe three most common bone cancers:\n1. Osteosarcoma - Sarcoma of the bone. 35% of cases\n2. Ewing's Tumor (sarcoma) - 16% of all cases.\n3. Chondrosarcoma - 26% of all cases.\n\nhttp://www.cancer.org/docroot/cri/content/cri_2_4_1x_what_are_the_key_statistics_for_bone_cancer_2.asp?\n\nStatistics for Osteosarcoma\nhttp://www.cancer.org/docroot/cri/content/cri_2_4_1x_what_are_the_key_statistics_for_osteosarcoma_52.asp?\n\nStatistics for Ewing Family of Tumors\nhttp://www.cancer.org/docroot/cri/content/cri_2_4_1x_what_are_the_key_statistics_for_ewings_family_of_tumors_48.asp?

the femur\nif you kill someone you can use his femur as a club and kill someone else with it.\n the atlas\nits a bone in the back of the neck, if it snaps forward it goes into medulla and kills you.

Bone is unique in that it heals with its own tissue, rather than with scar tissue. This amazing capacity for regeneration enables a mending bone to completely heal itself. Especially after a stress fracture. Even shattered fragments of bone can often be restored to their normal function. This sounds very encouraging, but always consult a doctor whether continuing to run will be painful and not result in permanent damage. Doctors can make compromises and let you push out the rest of the season even though you are in pain. As was my case, I continued cross-country training in blinding pain from multi-stress fractures. There were no permanent effects as a result. These things heal up well.

I suggest you see your regular physcian and get an mri.Take glucosamine in the mean time could be am old fracture to anything once you get an mri they will be able to see more and suggest treatment options

The skeleton has two main parts: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton consists of the skull, the spine, the ribs and the sternum (breastbone) and includes 80 bones. The appendicular skeleton, consisting of 126 bones,  includes two limb girdles (the shoulders and pelvis) and their attached limb bones.  \n\nBTW -why not learn to use google like everyone else!

I would say that when you break a bone, the strain on the surrounding muscles causing them to be pulled and therefore damaged.

Ouch.  That is a serious injury.  Any time you injure a weight bearing bone, you will need a professional assessment and ongoing rehab with your Physical Therapist.  Rehab and recovery from this type of injury can take up to 6 months or longer.\n\nYou can probably look up treatment modalities for this injury on the internet (or take answers from those who do the same), but I would strongly suggest you stick with your Physical Therapist as a source of information, as your situation may be unique in relation to location of fractures, muscles affected and rehab protocols necessary for healing.
