Here's something that may be of consideration bone experts. My DEXA scan of my hip(s?) was -2.5 to -2.7. However, my CT bone density scan of T12, L1, and L2 was averaged to be - 1.0.

So my internist, who's pretty smart (but I have questions on this) said that the CT is a more reliable source and a new CT of the hip is unwarranted. I said, but what if there is some higher bone density from DDD at L2 and I was dismissed.

So I don't know but maybe a CT scan for confirmation? If so, of what? Hip as proxy or such levels?

Do we have a resident rheumatologist, bone biologist, and radiologist on-board?

Good luck; sorry this happened.
