Bone density takes a while to change, and due to different machines, person taking the scan, positioning of the body , etc small changes in a DEXA may not be exactly accurate and many hang their hat on those scores. WHERE AS
What should be done is having BONE MARKERS drawn, (CTX, Possibly P1NP, etc) for example a few months after a new med is introduced to see if it’s actually working , rather than waiting 2 years for your next DEXA. If the med is not working then a change can be made then ….rather than wasting all that precious time till your next DEXA. This information is in DrMcCormack’s “Great Bones” book. Pick one up and read it for yourself. Good luck!!!!
