Parrotqueen, I will be very interested to hear your bone scan results. Am praying it will show an improvement.
Here is some info on a new technology in addition to for DEXA scans that my endocrinologist sent to me: Trabecular bone score — Trabecular bone score (TBS) is a commercially available software add-on for late-generation DXA systems that has been cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as a complement to DXA analysis and clinical examination for assessment of fracture risk and monitoring the effects of therapy. TBS uses data derived from lumbar spine DXA images to generate a gray-level textural index. TBS is associated with vertebral, hip, and major osteoporotic fracture risk in postmenopausal women, with major osteoporotic fracture risk in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and with hip fracture risk and major osteoporotic fracture risk in men over age 50 years [76,77]. It can be included in the FRAX algorithm to estimate fracture risk [78].
TBS cannot diagnose osteoporosis and should not be used alone to initiate therapy. TBS does not appear to be clinically useful to monitor the skeletal effects of bisphosphonates and denosumab, but it is potentially useful as a component of monitoring the skeletal effects of teriparatide and abaloparatide, provided precision assessment has been done and the least significant change (LSC) has been calculated.

She said she would order it for me if it's available when I get my next scan. Unfortunately she's leaving her practice but thankfully has referred me to an endocrinologist who sounds great!

Blessings to all, Sunny flower
