What Are The Worst Osteoporosis T Scores You've Ever Heard Of?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Bay Minette, AL

When my bone scan was done, about 5 months ago and I received my report.....my T-scores we're: Spine = -5.78, Hip= -4.38 and Femur= -3.27. My Orthopedic Surgeon, my Endocrinologist and my PCP say that those are the worst scores they've seen in a patient. Just wondering.

Try doing the Forteo daily injections. That's what they have me on and I'm beginning to tell a difference with things.

Thanks Stephani for your response - I know it's worth it and that's the only thing that keeps me going is the utlimate goal of getting better ! But your comments will help me to keep going xxx

I've been on Forteo almost four months now. It gets better. It's well worth it though. Hope it gets better for you very soon.

My score was a -4 also. She wanted me to do Prolia, but I'm really concerned about side effects and joint pain. I have enough as it is and my doctor really does not like to give me pain pills. I've been trying to increase exercise, and add as much calcium and Vit D as possible from food, and supplements. Also try to really watch out for trip hazards.
