Hi Sharon, Glad to hear that you felt better the next day. When you got for your next Dexa-Scan, you can request a reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act in advance, which would be asking for a pad or other soft material to prevent back pain. Best to put a request like that in writing. If you feel like it, you could even lay the groundwork now, by calling or writing a letter, explain what you went through and ask what they can do to prevent that in the future. All the best, Teri
