Bone pain is an enfeebling type of pain that emanates from the bone tissues. It can result from a number of causes including normal physical injuries as well as other health conditions and seriously impairs the patient’s quality of life. Bone pain is considered to be a form of deep somatic pain, with the affected individual experiencing a dull pain which cannot be exactly located.

The exact anatomy of bones remained unknown for many years. Although, bones have been known to be innervated with numerous sensory neurons, the innervation of the exact types of nerves with specific parts of bones has been recently discovered. The periosteal layer present in bone tissues is highly sensitive to pain caused by conditions like fracture and osteoarthritis. The haversian and endosteal nerve supply is responsible for causing the pain in certain bone diseases such as osteomalacia and osteonecrosis. So, bone pain caused by various conditions often has different origins

Bone Pain Prevention
One can prevent certain types of pain in bones by avoiding their triggering factors. For example, avoiding overuse of specific bone joints, like the elbow or knee, can keep away pain in these joints. But, there are other types of bone pains that are caused by conditions that are difficult to prevent such as arthritis, bone cancer and osteosarcoma.
