By Michael Perry, M.D. Degenerative disc disease frequently causes lower back pain, otherwise known as lumbago. This condition is one of the most common and can arise due to a variety of factors, including sudden trauma, but the most common reason for developing degenerative disc disease is simply growing older.
Background: Bony raised bumps on the forehead are not rare and are known as osteomas. They occur due to the development of normal bone under the periosteum of the non-hair bearing forehead.They are benign overgrowths of bone that are non-mobile.arge frontal osteomas that are more than just a bump on the forehead are rare. But they present differently due to their size and their association with other symptoms such as pain. A CT scan will show that the osteoma is more aggressive as it extends deeper into the skull bone and is a truly expansile bone lesion.
There are two main causes of osteomalacia: (1) insufficient calcium absorption from the intestine because of lack of dietary calcium or a deficiency of, or resistance to, the action of vitamin D; and (2) phosphate deficiency caused by increased renal losses.he most specific screening test for vitamin D deficiency in otherwise healthy individuals is a serum 25(OH)D level. Less common causes of osteomalacia can include hereditary deficiencies of vitamin D or phosphate (which would typically be identified in childhood) or malignancy.
