Did my T-scores go down?

If your L4 is arthritic, that could account for the appearance of apparent density, without any improvement having taken place. My L4 is no longer included in my spine score for this reason. That would be up to the doctor reading the machine printout to determine.

I have never been diagnosed with arthritis. The doctor interpreting the results has not noted anything. Following is the doctor's impression

"Bone density in the total lumbar spine remains in the osteoporosis range with a 4.0% increase in bone mineral density since 10/25/2021."

However, I will bring this up next time I see my Rheumatologist. Thank you.
