Please request a bone DENSITY scan. I made the mistake of omitting the key word, density, and almost ended up with a bone scan using radioactive agents looking for cancer. Imagine the cost of that.

Yikes! Figured that the DEXA is understood on this site. Sorry. Will not make any assumptions in the future. My whole goal was to ensure that you knew you could just do a self-pay and get the DEXA anytime you wanted as long as you were willing to pay and your physician concurred with ordering the test for you. In my state, you cannot get a DEXA without a doctor's order.
