Re-intro after a long absence
 

Greetings all!

I've been busy with life lately, hence my not posting in some time. Awaiting my next bone density test, to see if I will qualify for ADR. Keeping up with my exercise and hanging in my inversion machine to continue to mitigate the pain as much as possible. Motrin as needed, usually after a few hours of work, so I'm usually on about 50% duty. Patience is a virtue...

Rein blows in with a storm...
 

Rein,

By now, of course, I noticed your posts. Thanks for letting us know what your spine world is all about in terms of the latest news (sorry). :(

Looking ahead, do you see fusion as an OK option for you? If your T scores (bone density) are borderline, what will you do? Also, what dietary changes have you made in effort to change the bone densities? Lastly, do you know if your osteopenia/porosis is localized? Or is it limited to certain levels in your lumbar spine?

I have a question for you and others: if bone densities throughout the body are healthy and consistent, but not in certain areas of the spine, what does mean in terms of both diagnosis & treatment? And can any dietary, supplemental or pharma drugs change this localized condition? I think this is an important question.
