Does Paget's disease of bone typically cause bone pain?

Yes
No
Only in severe cases
Only in the early stages

The correct answer is: Yes

Paget's disease of bone typically causes bone pain because it is a chronic, progressive condition that affects the bones. As the bones become enlarged and deformed, they put pressure on surrounding tissues and nerves, leading to bone pain. Additionally, the disease can cause osteoarthritis in affected bones, which can also contribute to pain. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest that Paget's disease may not cause bone pain or only in rare or specific circumstances, which is not accurate. In the majority of cases, Paget's disease does cause bone pain and discomfort.
