How much do you know about the disease called, 'Paget's'?
Paget's disease causes a malfunction in the normal process of bone remodelling. Normally, bone is continually breaking down and rebuilding. This usually slow process of bone destruction and growth is somehow altered in Paget's disease.
The disease can affect any bone but more commonly affects the spine, pelvis, skull, thighbone (femur - pronounced fee-mer) and shinbone (tibia - pronounced ti-bee-ah).
Paget's disease can lead to other medical conditions including osteoarthritis, kidney stones and heart disease.
