Neither does a Dexa. It's unfortunate that insurance drives what doctors can and cannot recommend. Patients should not have to wait two years before they know that a drug is or is not working. There are no easy answers.

@me49 this is what I wrote:
"There may be other tests to do, but DEXA would be the best way to see if a drug is working, perhaps. Even then, improvements in bone quality may be happening, not density, that would not be picked up."
We don't have good answers that all docs agree on. Lack of money for research. This is mostly a women's disease!
