I have osteoporosis and disintegrating disk disease my t score is -3.5 I asked my nurse practitioner if she could order a xray on my back because I wanted to know if I had any spinal fractures she said that the radiation from the machines will wreck my bones even more has anyone ever been told this
I have degenerative disk disease also along with osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. The doctor said you cannot get an accurate reading of osteoporosis on the spine with a dexascan in my condition. It was diagnosed with the neck of the femur. I had an MRI for a view of all the damage. Fortunately no fractures.
Hi ernesto I know if you have any metal in your body you can't have a mri scan but you can have a ct scan
About to be scheduled for a bone density test.
Will the two ss stints in my chest arteries, the ss rod in my right femur make the test unfeasible?
