I had a bone density scan a month before my ADR. I requested it (age 45) although my surgeon didn't think it necessary. It showed the spine to be good but my hip is osteopenic (pre osteoporosis). Both my mother and grandmother had osteoporosis.
Because of my age I had to pay the full cost, about $90 Aus.
I've been taking a calcium, magnesium, Vit D supplement for years so I was disappointed with my results. I'd also like to know if there's anything else that will build up bone density.
