How bad is a spine T-score of -4 ?

The weird thing I've noticed (and the doctor and the densitometrist commented on this also):
My bone loss progresses VERY fast, They were so perplexed that they did the scan TWICE, because they couldn't believe their eyes, My total spine has gone from -3.6 to -4.0 in 6 months time. Same machine, same doctor.
I'm devastated for having to deal with this at such a young age.

Have you had your parathyroid glands checked? What is your calcium level? Have you done a 24 hour urine test? All of these tests will give you information as to why your body is losing bone density. If your parathyroid levels are off and your calcium levels are too high, your body is not absorbing calcium the way it should and that can greatly effect bone density tests. Ask your doctor!
