Good article, not surprised at all either. My DEXA revealed borderline osteopenia - Dr Zeegers told me the report was worthless and verified my bone strength when he examined them after I was opened up. The drug companies and doctors working in a quaint little collusive relationship as usual.

Fascinating and makes intuitive sense. Thanks Harrison.

Chronic back pain started in 2010 while shrugging weights that a 40 yr. old shouldn't even try.

MRI in 2012 showing L4/L5, L5/S1 herniations and L2/L3 bulge.

L5/S1 taking on new shape, chronic sciatica, etc.

DEXA bone scan performed 5/7/14 showing mild osteopenia.

Surgery performed July 9th, 2014, Dr Clavel, hybrid three level lumbar.
