My score is -2.6 which is technically osteopenia, but I am taking calcium called Ezorb (10 pills daily) which I love, and going to Osteostrong once a week, which I love. I don’t represent these companies— I am just a customer but I think what they’re providing is helping to build new bone. Next year I can get another bone density test which I’m hoping shows an improvement. Hope this helps and God bless you!

I've never been given a number. Just told bones of elderly person since age 36. Can I get after my 4th dexa scan?

I just requested to get my numbers to share. I only know I have osteopenia and osteoporosis. I cannot take any calcium as my body then creates bone spurs in the most painful places. I do take vitamin D3 though. I have taken too much steroids much of my life from doctors and also recently found out that on a full mouth xray I have 50% bone loss in all of my mouth 😥

I think I was around -2.5 last time I checked. I too have been experiencing this since my 20's from years of Prednisone use. I don't really have a treatment plan but I need one. I've been on vit D before and calcium but I get calcium deposits so it's a rough balance.

I don’t use my rescue inhaler unless I need to or steroids. I was taking calcium but got bone spurs. So now on a keto plan because I was needing to lose weight with enough yogurt to make it work. I had a course of flosamax already. But I am unhappy with results.

I wish I knew the numbers of what degrees I have but they told me that it got better but they never told me the number or I don’t know how to find that I had a copy of the test and I don’t think I wrote down the number and then I lost the test paper. But presumably I’ve made progress and possibly reversed the early osteoporosis that I had through doing exercises and physical therapy so there is hope you can always build more bone density As long as you are still able to move around

Just had bone scan and my #s same as yours. Recommendation was 1200 mg calcium, 2000 units Vit D, with weight bearing exercise (walking) and referral to Bone clinic.

I personally am on bio identical testosterone which builds muscle and bone. It also improves mood and labido, and is slightly protective to your breasts. I go back for another bone density test in a few weeks and hope to see good results.

How do I find out my number? All I keep being told after every scan, diagnosed first at age 36, is that I have bones of elderly person! About to get my 4th dexa. I fracture very easy and now had to get life alert because my tremors can take me off balance and I fall. Osteoporosis is causing chewing problems along with tmj and mandibular dystonia
