Jim is 71 and from the USA, he was shocked by his diagnosis and struggled to find the support he needed.

In researching the condition, he found few local resources.

‘Paget’s was discovered by chance in my pelvis, sacrum and spine (L5), when I had a bone scan for another reason. I was fortunate not to have experienced pain.’

‘I joined the Paget’s Association and received yet more information. A wonderful resource was/is email correspondence with Specialist Paget’s Nurse Diana Wilkinson, who quickly answered all my questions. I also joined the Zoom sessions with a wonderful Paget’s Support Group.’

🧬 Did you know genetics can play a role in Paget’s Disease of Bone?

If a close family member has the condition, your risk may be higher—making awareness and early monitoring especially important.

Understanding your family history can help you take proactive steps and seek advice sooner.

💙 Knowledge is power—learn more and stay informed.

🧬 What causes Paget’s disease of bone?

It’s still under intensive research, but both genetics and environment can play a role. If it runs in your family, your risk can be higher—children of those affected are around 7x more likely to have a chance of developing it.

💙 Stay informed and aware of your family history.
