Osteoporosis & Dexa Scans
I have Osteoporosis, do I still need to get Dexa scans done? Or once your diagnosed with osteoporosis, then you don't need any more Dexa scans ?
Thank you

Yes, it needs to b monitored thru time. Time period in US is evey two years. U need to follow good healthy lifestyle in nutrition & movement. Taking helpful supplements...important calcium & vit D. Depending on severity of bones, Drs may suggest strong medication treatments. How is anyone going to know if ur improving or not if not scanning. London ♥️
You should have quite regular scan I was told by past doctors but the one I have now says no.
Would suggest that you get a scan done periodically to keep an eye on the level of Osteo present.
Has Anyone Had Experience With Getting The REM Echolight Scan Along With The Dexa Scan? What Kind Of Doctor Would Prescribe The REM Scan?
