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.

Hi @callalloo, reverse abdominal curls are okay for osteoporosis. I remeber a stretch that helped my lower back that involved bending the knees, bringing them to the chest and hugging them. Are you able to that?

callalloo. I have a 2016, 2108 and 2022 DEXA. First one is mild osteoporosis...second (doing NOTHING different and TAKING NO DRUGS...Osteopenia! Third moderate osteoporosis.
I've taken nothing for it. Dexa scans are notoriously inaccurate and all over the map. EVEN IF you go to the same facility with the same technician.
I'm doing osteostrong and anxious to see how my next Dexa pans out.
