If you are past menopause and have constant pain in areas such as neck or lower back, consult your doctor for further evaluation. If you are at risk for developing osteoporosis, also consult your doctor for a medical assessment and bone density screening.
Go to the hospital if you feel severe pain in your muscles or bones that limits your ability to function. Go to the hospital’s emergency department if you have sustained trauma or suspect fractures of your spine, hip, or wrist.
