Patient's question:
In my hometown, there is a grandmother who has a very close relationship with my family. However, she has been sick recently. She has rickets, and I don't understand this disease very well, so I want to see some pictures of this disease. Could you please show me what pictures of rickets look like?Doctor's answer:
Older people may experience multiple occurrences of kyphosis, mainly characterized by multiple occurrences of rib protrusion and joint deformation. This is primarily due to calcium deficiency, in addition to bone degeneration in older individuals, which can lead to joint pain. In severe cases, it may even affect mobility. Primarily, physical therapy can be combined with rehabilitation exercises to address many physical treatments. If the condition is very severe, surgical intervention may be necessary for treatment.
