Sometimes there are no symptoms. I was active, a runner, I exercised, and the first symptom was that I twisted my back the wrong way one day and suffered a compression fracture. Until then, I had no idea there was a problem. I never had any joint pain.

79 yrs old, hurt back picking up heavy item.....severe pain, still 10 months later I have
been in PT, (L4 & 5) received Pain relieve shots, epiderma's. A spine Dr. sent me for a bone density test, and it came out low (3.1). My regular Dr said to take Prolia or maybe another drug....never discussed what outcome would be, when a follow up would be....decided after I read different reviews - (I am still in pain still after 10 months, after picking up heavy item) and decided not to bring more pain upon myself. Took up Pilates (never had done it but took private lessons),
stretching, took up slacking, and Yoga, (finally can walk a mile now w/o a cane, lift 5 pound weights every day, stay active all day - no couch sitting...
