Yes and the score is adjusted down or computed only from L2-5 if possible. I have 3 lumbar fractures so there isn't much left to scan! 🙂

I have no idea whether they included L1 in the calculation for the spine; the report is silent on that. But it’s a good question to ask my endocrinologist when I see her on Thursday. Thanks for the input.

May I ask what your spine Dexa scores were before the fractures?
So Sorry to hear of your fractures.
Are they painful?
