I Had A Bone Density Scan Maybe 7 Or 8 Yrs Ago And Results Showed Osteoporosis In My Left Hip.
A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭

I’ve not had much pain in the hip but the bottom of my spine can be excruciatingly painful especially standing whilst working. Should I see my doctor again to see what pain relief I could get

Welcome Laura! Seems like it might be a good idea to see your doctor and maybe get an xray or another dexa scan to see what's going on or changing.
