@summera1 -3.3 is still a poor score. -3.9 is a really poor score. What would be questionable is if you had -3.0 on one machine and -2.5 on another, because -2.5 is not an automatic "must take meds" situation.

I think of it like this that we have bone loss, and need to address it.
Theses machines while being the so call gold standard, can scare many people into starting medication when they might not yet need it. Add to it the lack of specialists in this area and its no wonder many question what to do next and feel concerned about the medication route. And then the overuse of prolia without explaining to patients the risks and the plan of following up with another medication to lock in gains.
