Thanks for your kindness and info
Yes, I had a DEXA two years ago and was diagnosed then based on a -3.6 T score of my lumber spine. Other areas were in the low -2 and the Dr I had then felt they were not too concerning. That Dr put me on Prolia for several reasons
Neither test results that were sent to me has any other info than the T score. I was told that DEXA only measures bone density and nothing else so that is good info for me to know.
This DEXA report just had T scores as well - my neck and spine results only (no hip score as before) only and the neck was very slightly worse but still in the osteopenia range and the spine had gone to -2.5. The only other info was that my bone density in my spine had increased by 10. something percent. That is why is was surprised when I got a short email from her claiming I had significantly worsened!
She is supposedly out of town but did answer an email last night, partially - but now she said it was my hip that was worse, not my spine... which was never mentioned before so now I am more confused.
She also said she though I should start Prolia? Which she should know I have been on for two years She prescribed it the last time. So nothing makes sense and my husband says it has turned into a very bad comedy sketch!
So, I think my only choice is to try to see the specialist and get another opinion!
I think when you mentioned your T scores were on your spine and neck only (not your hip) , it is your hip! DEXA doesn’t actually measure your neck (I think), it’s referring to the neck of your femur bone. Correct me if I am mistaken as I thought the same when I first got my DEXA score!
