Osteoporosis and Frax score?

Hi lamay:

Fill us in on your diet and exercises.

When I had the DEXA scan, they did the TBS score which shows the % of fracture danger.

Do not know if another mammogram site can take your DEXA and convert it to a TBS score. TBS here is $155 without insurance. Insurance brought cost down to $11.00

Hi Timely,

What is the TBS score? I don't think I had that, sounds similar to Frax?
I wasn't getting enough calories, nor calcium, have absorption issues so even with high supplementation my D3 is always low, I'm stuffing in the food now, hope to gain weight, and counting 1200 mg of daily calcium, hoping that I'm absorbing more. Currently I'm working on an online balance program, started doing Dr. Fishman's 12 yoga poses for bones (sounds to good to be true though), squats with a weight, and I meet with a personal trainer next week to get a program started to build muscle and hopefully slow bone loss. It's all new to me. I've recently heard of vibration therapy the astronauts do for bone loss, but don't know much about it.
Thank you for your thoughts and info. on TBS, I will look into that.
