HPP is often misdiagnosed.
If you’ve been diagnosed with, or suspected to have had, conditions like rickets, rheumatoid arthritis, or another diagnosis with bone or muscle pain, you may want to have your doctor re-review your medical history.
Some common misdiagnoses of HPP are:
Osteoporosis/ Osteopenia
A condition that weakens bones and creates a greater risk of unexpected bone fractures.
Rickets/ Osteomalacia
A condition that causes bone pain and soft, weak bones.
Fibromyalgia
A condition that causes fatigue, brain fog, and musculoskeletal pain.
