it can vary depending on the side of your body that's scanned...and the position the tech puts your leg in etc. It's by no means a consistent result...a few years ago a blogger went to 4 clinics in 2 weeks with different results at each...some by as much as 15%.
I'm really really banking on Osteostrong...If it doesn't work I guess I'll just let my bones age naturally. My mom was 4'11 and thin and lived to be 97 and didn't have any femur fractures!

DEXA scores may seem all over the map, but if you make a chart with each set of scores over the years, the trend is clear.
I personally would not recommend letting bones "age naturally." Especially if you already have moderate osteoporosis.
But I have spinal fractures that give me pain and limit what I can do, and even threaten my independence. I am willing to suffer any side effects to prevent more fractures. Luckily Tymlos is not causing many problems after I ramped up slowly on the dose for the first two months,
