Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to become thin, weak, and break easily. You cannot feel or see your bones getting thinner. The most common broken bones linked with osteoporosis are the spine, wrist, and hip. A broken bone can stop you from working and from doing things you enjoy and greatly reduce your quality of life.
