certainly has put doubts into my mind. I know Dr Bertagnoli does AMP Vertebroplasty which is hte injection of bone cement into the bones, not sure if other doctors would do something similar.
I spent my whole life exercising, eating pretty good, hardly drink, slender frame, even drink soda pop maybe 5 times a year. maybe 5 cups of coffee per week, eat healthy but results were disappointing. Though I have heard the tests could be quite off with a bad technician and being in Asia I wont say I am totally confident on the tech that performed the test on me.
Just frustrating I was this close to getting ADR but now feel like I have taken a couple steps backward. Seeing a local spine specialist on Saturday to talk about the Dexa results and what could be done , retests, treatments, causes etc and will hear from other adr doctors on their thoughts to.
Hit pretty hard tonight we a feeling of hopelessness but got to keep on fighting.
