Paget Disease treatment in Benito Juárez

Paget's disease of bone is a chronic disorder in which bone renews abnormally, becoming larger but also more fragile and deformed. It usually affects the pelvis, the skull, the spine, or the long bones of the legs.

Common symptoms: Many people have no discomfort and it is detected during routine tests. When there are symptoms, they can include bone pain, deformity of a bone, or, at times, fractures.

When to seek care? With persistent bone pain, deformities, or abnormalities detected in tests or X-rays, a detailed evaluation is advisable.

Which specialist treats it? The rheumatologist and the orthopedist usually handle its workup and follow-up, depending on whether joint or bone problems predominate. If you have questions about your bones, scheduling with one of these professionals will give you clarity on the steps to follow.
