Osteopenia?
A chat with the doctor's nurse and the diagnosis of of
osteopenia
.
Osteopenia
is the first stage before osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is when you break bones by falling. I fall now and then but it's because of peroneal nerve entrapment. The peroneal nerve lifts my toes.

Osteopenia treatment
The scan has shown significant
osteopenia
with a T-score of -2.4 in the femoral neck. The rheumatologist calculated my FRAX score, My major fracture risk is 21% and hip fracture risk 6.9% in the next 10 years. I am on 6mg prednisolone presently, which increases the risk of fracture.

osteopenia or osteoporosis
I’ve just had a repeat DEXA scan after 5 years. My T scores are spine -0.9 (no change), hip -1.2 (previously-1.4). Femeral neck -2.5 (previously -2.2). Will this result in a diagnosis of osteoporosis. My GP is going to phone me to discuss and is suggesting medication. Is anyone able to give me advice

dexa scan redults
It said L2 spine t score -2.6 .and there is a section which says’technical comment-pls see the L spine results sheet’ The separate mailed letter from hospital said my results are -1.8 therefore
osteopenia
. Can
osteopenia
improve after a few years? Can I have osteoporosis in just one part?

ndt and osteopenia
I have just been diagnosed with
osteopenia
which can be the start of osteoporosis. Watching YouTube physio’s one pointed out that low thyroid meds can contribute to our bodies not being able build bones. I think he said high doses. I can’t find any info on this.

Prednisolone and osteopenia
Hi I had a Dex scan a few weeks ago and my bone density showed I have
osteopenia
, I was given calcium and vitamin D tablets to take twice a day. So would it help if I drank milk to help to augment this as I don't have milk normally but have yogurt. Thank you in advance for any replies. Peter.

Recently diagnosed with Osteopenia 😳
I recently had a DEXA scan which shows I am at the top of the
osteopenia
score - any higher and I will have osteoporosis. This is worst in my hips and neck of femur(-2.3 and -2.4). The scan showed my spine is not as severe (-1.4).

Med change
My son has been on Carbatrol for decades and has developed
osteopenia
from it. We tried oxcarbazepine but he had an immediate adverse reaction that required medical attention. His Dr. is now suggesting Kepra. Has anyone tried that med and what were the results? Sharon

Alendronic Acid
I’ve been diagnosed with
Osteopenia
. About 7 months ago I was given vitamin d and calcium tablets which I am fine with. I was also given Alendronic acid which makes me feel very lethargic for a couple of days after taking. Has anyone else experienced this.

Dexa results
The -1.5 and the -1.4 results I presume are T scores in the
osteopenia
range but what about the two figures either side of the minus figures? Could they be Z scores? I would be grateful if anyone knows. Many thanks.

cirrhosis, fatigue and joint pain
Following a Dexa scan I was told I had
Osteopenia
, but don’t know if there is a link. I find by late afternoon I’m ready to nod off, but then have restless sleep, but rise early for work.

good evening I have PMR and have recently had a Dexa scan - really because I wanted to avoid taking Alendronic Acid - I’ve not seen the full report but my GP said it showed
osteopenia
- I’m struggling to understand my result.

Thoughts on Denosumab in my case
Bone density normal in spine,
osteopenia
in right hip and osteoporosis on one part of left hip. I am wondering if with a -2.7 it is possible to control/improve with supplements and weight bearing exercises? What are you taking? Have added calcium.

osteoporosis diagnosis
However much to my surprise and disappointment the results came back as osteoporosis in my spine and
osteopenia
in my left hip. A scan 2 years previously had shown
osteopenia
in both spine and left hip. My current T scores are: spine -2.5, left hip neck -2.4, left hip total -1.8.
