So all the doctors (spine doctors) I have talked to are fine with the new results which is great. I got higher scores, still a little lower than I was hoping but I have heard that Disc Degeneration itself can cause dexa scores to be a bit on the odd side.

Checked all vitamins, kidneys, thyroid and so forth that might be interfering with bone development and everything is fine, also have not lost any height still 183 cm which I have been for years. Doctors all agree that I am pretty normal.


So if you ever get a Dexa scan make sure you question the results and perhaps even do it again if they are quite off. Another thing the bone specialist I saw here after the second test, I showed her my first test she said even by the test scores it looked off, she said the scores are usually in a pattern when people have bone problems and my scores were all over the map which didnt make any sense.


So I am getting close to the big decision. Hoping to get a talk in via Skype this week with one of my German doctor contenders and than will be making the final choice. It really has come down to two doctors, with a slim chance on three doctors in Germany and Spain
