Paget's disease is a condition where the bone remodeling process is disrupted, leading to increased bone resorption and disorganized bone formation. Pamidronate is a medication that is commonly used to inhibit bone resorption in Paget's disease. Ibuprofen may be used for discomfort, but it does not target the underlying pathophysiology of the disease. Calcitonin may also be used to inhibit bone formation, but pamidronate is a more effective treatment for Paget's disease. Hip replacement surgery is not a typical treatment option for Paget's disease unless there is severe joint damage or deformity.
