I have been having a dexa scan every two years for some time now. My last scan showed -2.95 in my hips and -2.75 in my spine.

Haven't had a scan for years now, Dr didn't order one before he started me on Prolia, which is nearly 2 years ago. Saw him today and finally having one in 3 weeks. Thanks for all your comments, they are as always very helpful.

how long has it been since your last dexa scan? were your numbers in the "minus" 2, 3, or 4's?
