Default re your reasons

Cathy,
You are also at that age where in perimenopause your bone density *might* start to change.. I had only osteopenia back in '06 with a t score of -2.2 lumbar spine and I was a surgical candidate for ADR at L4 and fusion at L5S1but now I have osteoporosis with last t score of -2.6.

Here in the states I don't think there is a surgeon that would want to take my lumbar spine on with osteoporosis altho perhaps abroad where vertebroplasty is utilized (Dr.B).

So I guess I think your reasons are quite valid altho of course it only matters to you when you feel ready to have surgery!

Wishing you the best with your endeavor!
