Bone density scans

Posted on March 7, 2008 by ryanvt

I had bone density scans done today to check on the osteoporosis of my spine and hip. Here are the results:

Lumbar Spine Scan

Left Hip Scan

The T-score for my spine is -2.6, and the t-score for my hip is -1.4. Both are well below what they should be for a 30-year-old male. Interestingly, my spine seems to be getting more denser over the past 3 years, but my hip has gone the opposite direction.

I’m taking calcium currently, but I definitely need to start taking something stronger.

    Interesting. Did you ever see the MRI of Carolyn’s brain?

    My first viewing of someones bone density scan on a blog.
    Should I be taking calcium pills?
    Hope you are doing better!

    Osteoporosis is so rare in young males like us, but it might not hurt to get a bone density scan yourself.

    Feeling much, much better now, thanks!
