Difference in scores between DEXA and REMS

Posted by marinecouac @marinecouac, Feb 18, 2025

I recently did a DEXA and REMS test , the difference in scores where rather startling... dexa showed much lower scores in both spine and femoral neck, hip.. and no result for bone strength. REMS way better scores and less alarming as bone strength looks good. My endocrinologist does not know anything about REMS technology why?.. difficult to navigate this and stay firm on being own advocate for ones health.. Has anyone got experience with this situation. Data, where to find information. Thanks

@cfbutler This is really encouraging and why I want to get a REMS too, basically a 2nd opinion. When I've had a recommendation from a car repair place to do something that is expensive and questionable if really the issue or true, I have gotten a 2nd opinion and in most cases, have gotten a different answer about what is really necessary/needed and it has always been that something is not needed etc. I'm taking the same approach for my osteoporosis. This post confirms that, thank you for sharing!
