Sallie, the skeleton regenerates approximately every decade. It takes quite a while for the inflammatory damage done pre-MP to disappear...

I live in hope. after all, Jigsaw is ten years older than I am, maybe more
so if I am offered another DEXA 5 years later, there may be enough improvement to show something.
Meanwhile a little good Aussie cheese, or a tub of Greek yoghurt made by owner of corner store can't hurt, I guess
and maybe I need to take more exercise since I can

Summary - still in OSTEOPENIA category,

(BMD = bone mass density in gm/cm3)
2016 % change from most recent
Spine 6.4%
Left femur neck 5.8%
right femur neck 3.4%
Have been more reliably taking ca/mg supplements in the last year. My trainer has been working on me putting more weight on the right side when lifting. I'd been relying on the left side for strength without really noticing it.

Good going Chris!
Strength training does seem to improve density.
The body builds bone in response to the load placed on it.
But even walking has been noted to help through some mechanism related to "slow twitch muscles". I'm now able to handle walking the hills around my house and that seems to be good for me on so many levels.

I am unable to make these columns line up; please forgive.
I am not taking any calcium supplements but eat 2 oz of cheeze (approx.) per day.
If someone can tell me what this means, I am grateful.
Thank you. Sherry

Haven't been lifting much at all for the last year due to hip/lower spine troubles.Last edited on Fri Sep 7th, 2018 20:31 by Chris

Thanks for the data Chris.
Is that last item supposed to be in 2018?
Also, when did you start lifting weights? I understand that load bearing exercises, even walking can greatly improve bone density.

Yes, it was 2018, and you caught that error in time for me to fix it. Thanks.
I start weight training at least 5 years ago, maybe more. I've had to pretty much stop or scale way back for the last 6 months. I pulled something in the hip/spine area or maybe several somethings as the pain shifted at least once.
I'm starting again, as flexibility has returned.
