Treatments for Paget's disease of bone

There is no known cure for this kind of disease but, it can still be treated to prevent further damage.

Main treatments:

• bisphosphonate medication – medicines that help control bone regeneration
• painkillers – usually over-the-counter painkillers such as paracetamol and ibuprofen
• supportive therapies – including physiotherapy, occupational therapy and devices such as walking sticks or shoe inserts
• surgery – this may be needed if further problems develop, such as fractures, deformities or severe joint damage
• Getting enough calcium and vitamin D. Take some supplements if needed.
