How severe os -3.9 on the Dexa. Does rating go below -4?
I've wondered how low it goes too. My reading in spine is about -3.5. I hadn't seen a lower measurement, so thought maybe -4 was lowest! Also, a physical therapist told me they never got patients with lower readings than mine. Huh. I'm still functional, although my back aches every afternoon, and I can hear it creaking when I exercise, (carefully).
I have -6 osteoporosis in spine.
I rest every day when the pain comes on. I try to exercise & live with family.
what is the boundary line ? my score of L2 is minus 5.5 is this score common or rare ? what to do ?
4breaks in spine. 3.9 dexa scan on spine. L5 sciatica. Pain worse every day. Any advice would be appreciated as so worried. Thanku
I have Osteopenia and the doctor wants me to start me on Fosamax
