Has anyone had a rems bone scan or tbs bone scan?
I have poor dexa bone scan results, but have heard that rems scans and tbs (trabecular) bone scores can give you a better overall bone health picture. But both, especially rems are pretty new and I wonder if anyone has been able to have one and if their insurance accepts?

We don’t disagree - my comments were about singular tests compared to each other and the problems inherent to that— as I outlined. Overtime, and with many tests we ascertain more truth in the matter. I think you misinterpreted possibly - your diagnosis of compression fractures is a diagnosis, as evidenced by the compression fracture(s) you were diagnosed with.
Sharing a great podcast episode that explains REMS v DEXA and many other aspects of OP treatment.
