Hi, if the dexa scans were done on different machines that may alter the results, as each scanner can be calibrated differently.
Also, if the technician does not position you correctly, it can skew the results.
Just my opinion, but because of these anomalies in the scans, I don’t believe dexa is the best predictor of fracture.
On another note, the first “abnormal” dexa shouldn’t necessarily mean treatment with osteoporosis meds, especially Prolia, which is very difficult to stop, if the med is not stopped properly with a relay drug, you run the risk of rebound fractures, ask me how I know!?!
What was your doctor’s response to the varying dexa results?
Take care,

Please tell me about your experience with rebound.
How many injections has you had?
I have recently stopped Prolia after 4 injections and are very worried about rebound.
Apparently in America there is a Class Action in regards to Spontaneous Longbone Fractures. Dr Peter Glidden did not mention the drug but we can guess which drug it was. Can you find out about this class action. We need it in Australia! Good luck and take care.
