Paget’s Awareness Day 2023: January 11 is a day of recognition, remembrance, and awareness for Paget’s Disease. A rare bone disorder, Paget’s Disease affects two percent of the population in some form or another. It is estimated that around 12 million people worldwide are living with this condition. It is our duty to bring attention to this particular disorder, as it can be debilitating and life-threatening if left undiagnosed or untreated. On this day we strive to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of Paget’s Disease, so that those affected can get the support they need.

In honor of Paget’s Awareness Day on January 11, 2023, let us explore what causes Paget’s Disease, how it can be managed with medical treatment, and how we can help those living with this condition.

What is Paget’s Disease?

Paget’s Disease is a condition that affects the bones, most commonly in the pelvis, spine, and skull. It is characterized by the overgrowth of bone tissue, which can lead to pain, deformity, and fracture. The cause of Paget’s Disease is unknown, but it is thought to be linked to genetic factors. There is no cure for Paget’s Disease, but treatment can help manage the symptoms.

Symptoms of Paget’s Disease

Paget’s disease of the bone is a chronic condition characterized by abnormal bone remodeling. The rate of bone turnover is increased, leading to changes in the structure and strength of the affected bones.

Paget’s disease most commonly affects the bones of the pelvis, skull, spine, and long bones of the arms and legs. It can also affect other bones in the body such as the ribs and shoulder blades.

The most common symptom of Paget’s disease is pain in the affected bones. The pain is often described as a dull ache that gets worse with activity or at night. Other symptoms include:

• Bone deformity
• Joint pain and stiffness
• Muscle weakness
• Fatigue
• Numbness or tingling in the extremities

Diagnosis of Paget’s Disease

There are four main types of Paget’s disease:

1. Osteitis deformans – This is the most common type, accounting for about 80% of all cases. It affects the long bones of the body, such as the thigh bone (femur) or shinbone (tibia). The bones become enlarged and deformed, and may break more easily than normal.

2. Osteomyelitis deformans – This type affects the pelvis and spine. It accounts for about 10% of all cases.

3. Periostitis deformans – This type affects the flat bones of the skull, ribs, and upper arm. It is fairly rare, accounting for about 5% of all cases.

4. Sinus pericranii – This is a very rare type that occurs when thinning of the skull bone (called cortical thinning) causes blood vessels in the membrane surrounding the brain (dura mater) to become visible through the skin.

Treatment of Paget’s Disease

There are several ways to treat Paget’s disease. The goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms and prevent complications.

If you have mild Paget’s disease, your doctor may recommend pain relief and calcium supplements. If you have more severe Paget’s disease, your doctor may recommend bisphosphonates. These drugs slow the rate of bone turnover and can help reduce pain and improve bone density.

In some cases, surgery may be necessary to correct deformities or to relieve pressure on nerves or blood vessels. Surgery is usually only recommended for people who have severe Paget’s disease that is not responding to other treatments.

Living with Paget’s Disease

Paget’s disease is a chronic condition that affects the bones. It is characterized by abnormal bone growth. The affected bones may be weaker and more likely to break. Paget’s disease usually affects people over the age of 50, but it can occur at any age.

There is no cure for Paget’s disease, but it can be managed with medication and lifestyle changes. Treatment typically focuses on relieving symptoms and preventing complications.

People with Paget’s disease often have pain in the affected bones. They may also experience fatigue, joint stiffness, and deformities in the affected bones. In some cases, Paget’s disease can lead to complications such as arthritis, fractures, and hearing loss.

Living with Paget’s disease requires making some lifestyle changes to manage the condition. People with Paget’s disease should stay active and eat a healthy diet to maintain their bone health. They should also avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.

Conclusion

Paget’s Awareness Day is an opportunity to raise much needed awareness and funding for Paget’s disease research. It is a reminder that this condition affects many people around the world, which means that supporting these efforts can enable us to help those affected by Paget’s Disease get the medical care they need. On January 11, 2023 we ask everyone to join us in showing our support for those struggling with this condition, so let’s band together and do what we can to make sure it doesn’t go unnoticed!
