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. 
  • PS to read about Deanne’s comments put Bone Clinic in the search bar above.
  • @DearB osteopenia can be reversed with weight bearing exercise @Deanne has told us about The Bone Clinic and Griffith University work in this regard.

    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.
  • Thanks @iserbrown.  My go did say because we are looking for things it's good as we are finding things early.....
