@contentandwell I have also had osteopenian and my Dr send me every 2 years and you should go if you haven't had one for awhile. We need to keep on top of our test and when they should be done . I have a D.O for my Dr.she is very good. My last report said I don't have osteoporosis but my Left hip bones are getting thinner so I found a product called bone growth its a powder you mix with juice or liquid but you have to mix well I blend mine . I'm hoping next time I take the test it will have improved. Get your test so important

@lioness. My bone density scan is scheduled in two weeks. I have to call to make sure it won’t require me to lie on my left side because with this fracture that would be impossible.
@gingerw. Thankfully I do not have any doctors who are that arrogant, but many do not give much credit to the patient for knowing anything. That’s one of the things I really liked about the orthopedic doctor who did my last TKR. He showed respect for my opinions. I think my PCP has learned to too which is part of the reason I hate the thought of changing doctors. It took me a long time to break him in! ☺️
