Harrison:
I've scheduled the DEXA scan and am waiting patiently. I had a nuclear bone scan originally, which was used to rule out discitis while I waited for an MRI. No densities measured.
However, as a 33 year-old, otherwise healthy and active male, are my chances of having an abnormal bone density lower?
What happens if you receive and ADR and begin to lose density as you age? Do the risks of subsidence or dislodgement increase?
Annpurna:
Thanks for the info. My local docs must be referring to scarring. Other than that, I don't know why an ADR would affect canal space.
