A broken ankle occurs when too much pressure is applied to one of the several small bones that compromise your ankle joint. Once your bone is broken, it is important to provide your body with the proper nutrients it needs to recover.

The hip is a ball and socket joint and is susceptible to fractures. These bone injuries typically affect older people and commonly result from a fall. Hip fractures also occur in the younger population due to trauma, such as a motor vehicle accident or a fall from a high surface.

Bone density is a measurement of the mineral content inside your bones. Individuals with a high bone mineral content tend to have decreased risks for osteoporosis-related fractures. Performing weight-bearing exercises that include running can lead to significant increases in your bone density.

A bone spur is a bony growth that can appear along the edge of any bone. Also known as osteophytes, bone spurs do not always cause pain.

Many diseases can affect the cheek bones. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health or NIH, face pain—which includes cheek pain—can be dull and throbbing or intense and stabbing, and it can be felt on one or both sides of the face.

Fibromyalgia is a condition that causes fatigue and pronounced musculoskeletal pain all over the body. It's still not well understood. Because there are no laboratory tests that can confirm a diagnosis, medical professionals must rely on a physical exam and a history of symptoms in order to diagnose fibromyalgia.

Increased bone density is not usually a normal process. A slightly higher than average bone density may be found in gymnasts or other athletes, but a much higher bone density than average is not normal. Increased bone density can be across the whole spine or just in specific areas.

There are 14 main ligaments in your back, called spinal ligaments, which help protect your vertebrae and keep them in position and help you stay upright, according to the Spine Universe website.

If your symptoms include red and spotty skin accompanied by muscle pain, weakness and headaches, you might be suffering from several different conditions. You could have the virus mononucleosis and several autoimmune conditions, including lupus and celiac disease.

Your buttocks have several layers of muscle. These muscles primarily move your hip joint, and straining them can literally be a pain in the butt. These strains typically occur on one side of the body when a muscle is overstretched or overworked.

Your spine or vertebral column is comprised of four sections. The cervical vertebrae naturally curves inward and makes up the neck and upper back. The thoracic spine is the upper and mid-back and naturally curves outward a bit. Next is your lumbar or low back area that naturally curves in.

The rhomboids are the very thin muscles located in your upper back between the shoulder blades. Since the rhomboids connect the shoulder blade (or scapula) to the spinal column, the relatively small muscles are responsible for a heavy burden that includes pulling your shoulders back for correct posture.
