I had a Dexa Scan last week. Not had all the results back yet or a chat with the consultant but was told from comparing the scan from last year, I have grown 10 cm. I will be interesting to see how my multiple fractures of the spine have progress (hopefully).
I now have some gentle exercises to progress from Physio yesterday so another challenge begins and hopefully another 10 cm to try to get back to my original height (wishful thinking!)

I’m new to all this Osteoporosis/bone density category which I developed when I was very ill pre my liver transplant May 20 caused from Sarcodosis. To be honest, everyone concentrated on that side of things and luckily, I lived to tell the tail.
Post T/P, I walked almost every day, rain, snow, all weather with a Walker and still use it now when out shopping. I upped the notches as I became stronger and the need & urge for my posture to become more upright if you know what I mean.
I had a Dexa scan last week and the person who took it told me I had grown 10 cm from my last scan last year but I still have some fractures in my spine. I have yet to speak to the consultant. I know nothing of how the results read yet. I must be better as I could barely walk last year!
Attended a new physio session on Monday & they were astonished that some one could grow because you normally loose height apparently. I still have some evidence of Kyphosis and now have some gentle exercise to start with as I still feel I’m not there yet as I feel my organs are still slightly crushed with the slight bending over. It feels great to exercise again, but as always, slowly but carefully!
