Bone density results
soooooo this week I goy results. Dr was pretty non phased so I assume I should be too. Results were -1.5 and -1.6 I think I am 45 does that sound ok? It's osteopenia range but is every one at 45 that? I didn't ask that. I go back in sep for another nurse/gp visit so will check then. I normally get a print out of results but I was distracted by life last Thursday.

Your GP is right it is good to have found this early as you can fix this now - I am osteoporotic and have had fractures - for me it is now 6 monthly injections and a light weights program.Osteoporotic fractures are painful and debilitating- best to act now to reverse it whilst osteopenia rather than become osteoporotic.Sign in to react to this post - DearBMemberThanks @iserbrown.
