What's bizarre is that I just refound DEXA from 2009. So I have three results; 2009, 2016 and 2022. My gm/cm² actual number went up in 2022 but the T-score also went up. I mean, honestly, how can that even happen? A higher number = a gm/cm² = higher density = a lower T-score. Unless the whole T-score scale has been rethought in the past decade?
I have a weak lower back (4 herniated lumbar discs injured a zillion years ago) and forward stretching is important for retaining comfort and flexibility. But I'm wary about it now, having read the caution about possibly triggering compression fractures. I hope to get the Echolight and more comprehensive analysis as the DEXA seems maybe too simplistic.
