Hi leeosteo~
Sorry I can't be more specific right now...I haven't had a new DEXA in about 2 years now. But..the last one I had..a year after I was so bad...with -3.7 in my spine and -3.2 in my femur....I had gained bone density..to where I had improved my scores by a lot. I got to -3.2 in my spine and -2.7 in my femur. I take Bone-up religiously..as well as strontium...and a multi collagen peptide...as well as walking more and using my vibration plate. I have much less mid back pains and hip pain now. I'll get another DEXA this year...but I know it does take a while to re-gain bone once lost. Hope this helps you.

bunky44, sounds like you've done well without meds. May I ask your age? It's usually harder, if not impossible, to regain bone density post menopause.

@bunky44 I assume you are aware that strontium gives a false impression of improvement in bone density on DEXA because it replaces calcium in the bones and is denser.
Once I had fractures I was determined to so absolutely anything to avoid any more pain and disability. Everyone is different. I started Tymlos at a low dose and my body got used to it as I increased. My view is that no matter how many brave attempts we make with diet, exercise, vibration etc. the natural course of our bones is unfortunately toward less density. Good luck with your efforts !
