Fever And Bone Pain After Breaking Pubic Bone. Any Ideas? Have Osteoporosis

Thanks for posting your query.
Fracture of pubic bone is not likely to cause the low grade fever she is having.
Constant bone pain is commonly associated with severe osteoporosis which usually improves on taking mild pain killers, calcium and Vitamin D3 supplements.
Prolonged fever for more than 3 weeks without a specefic usual cause is termed as pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO).
PUOs are caused by infections (30-40%), neoplasms (20-30%), collagen vascular diseases (10-20%), and numerous miscellaneous diseases (15-20%).
The exact cause can only be established after extensive diagnostic evaluation by her doctors. An autoimmune collagen vascular disease is likely in her case.
Please do consult her physician for a proper evaluation so that a specific treatment can be initiated early.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
