How Often Is Recommended For A Bone Density Scan

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
London, UK

I asked my doctor this week to be referred to have a bone density scan. She said no as I’m taking medication for my bones so there is no need for the scan, I’m on Risedronate sodium tablet once a week have been for many years. I’ve only ever had one of these scans when I got diagnosed with osteoporosis.
Can anyone tell me how often do you have a bone density scan, or where can I get the information on this please xxx

Age For Dexa Scans And Recommendations For Calcium As We Age

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Glenwood Springs, CO

I’m pretty young for having osteoporosis. Diagnosed at 49 with no known reasons to be concerned. Dexa scans aren’t usually recommended until a later age. The only reason I found out was I had a broken bone and a scan was recommended. Calcium was probably not a focus for me as I got older so I’m wondering if that had something to do with it. What I want to know is why are Dexa scans not recommended until later and why is calcium not a bigger concern for doctors as we age? Maybe this could have… read more
