This occurred to me the other day... my DEXA fron 2021 shows very little difference when compared with one done in 2015. In fact my PCP twice compared them and the dates and said that they're nearly identical within a margin of error.

A friend suffered a broken mrck in 2015 and was hospitalized or in rehab for 2.5 years. When he was put in a halo contraption to hopefully enable bones pieces to reattach, I found the best 'bone formula' vitamin supplement that I could to keep him supplied with. I also started taking the stuff as it was on my kitchen counter.

I now ponder that the insignificant changes between the two DEXASCANs 6 years apart are attributable at least in part to the daily supplement. [The DEXA bone density decreased by hundredths of a percent in one case and increased by tenths of a percent in another.] At any rate, I'm continuing to take the stuff. An echocardiogram and calcium score test reassured my cardiologist and me that the calcium seems to not be building up in arteries as some people fear.

Regarding my comment "You only have osteopenia. I had osteoporosis for 14 years w/out fracture." Just want to clarify that I am not suggesting others wait 14 years to treat! I had med sensitivities and other health conditions that caused my endocrinologist to have trouble treating me. My comment was meant to reassure those with osteopenia or early osteoporosis, but not to encourage avoiding treatment when needed.
