Question:

Explain to me why paget disease could cause abnormal pressure on a spinal nerve?


Answers:

When an area of bone is destroyed in a person with Paget’s disease, the bone that replaces it is soft and porous. Soft bone can be weak and easily bend, leading to shortening of the affected part of the body. This can effect your bones in two ways. 1 - Shortening and bending will put additional pressure on the spinal cord effecting the pressure on the nerves. 2 - When the bone repairs itself it causes the bone to become larger, also creating more pressure on the spinal cord.
