Significant osteoporosis: I need a bone plan

Hi @catluvr999, the MediMaps people will send you a lot of information about TBS. I confess I haven't had a chance to look at it yet. Maybe it's more understandable.
Did you use the FRAX tool (at American Bone Health) to calculate your risk of fracture in the next 10 years? Mine is high, but it only asks for the DXA score.
If I find anything helpful, I'll post it. Take care.

@tsc Yay....today I finally (after a few days) got a list from the medimaps group listing the TBS facilities in my area. Only about three within a hundred or so miles....and they might be the "for research purposes only" (which I'm guessing means not available to the public) cases but I'll be sure to contact them to find out. IMHO it would have been helpful for medimaps to have simply flagged the "for reach purposes only" cases with an asterisk but maybe they don't have the resources to determine that...only to know who has a TBS setup. Thanks again for the medimaps resource.

Hi, @tsc. Yes I used the American Bone Health fracture risk calculator. I assumed that the T score they wanted was my worst reading so I went with that.....-2.8. My lifestyle/history-type risk related answers were all No, so I'm guessing the score couldn't be any better than it is for my age/height/t score. Results: Any fracture in 10 years....19%....Average for my age.....11%......10 yr risk of hip fracture.....6%. Attached....if it attached.
