So glad it isn't bone mets, but sorry about hearing you have a fracture. I was told that if a person has osteoarthritis (particularly in the spine region) then a true reading/result is not as clear cut as we may think.

Has anyone else heard of this before? Wondering if the reason was you already had some osteoarthritis in your spine, and possibly already pre osteoporotic without tests revealing that. It does indeed sound strange to be within range 2 years ago, and only so far 2 years on AIs to have your T9 of your spine become so brittle.
@Cath62 were you given the Prolia injection?
