14 Symptoms of Osteomyelitis

3. Loss of Appetite

Loss of appetite is another sure sign that there is something wrong with your health that needs to be addressed as soon as possible, and before it becomes a further problem with your health.  There are an array of different things that could cause a general loss of appetite, and that list is filled with diseases and health conditions such as cancer, high blood pressure, infection somewhere in the body and even gut issues – in short, when you are experiencing any kind of change to your appetite, your body might be trying to tell you something and it’s up to you to find out what.

If you experience loss of appetite together with a fever or pain in the bone, it’s likely that it could be caused by osteomyelitis (especially where the infection is already present, whether it’s visible or not) – and when it isn’t caused by osteomyelitis, it’s still just as important to see your doctor and find the root cause.
