Hi KieranB ,

Welcome to our community, thank you for joining us here! Experiencing spine fractures can be really isolating, so we hope you can connect with others here who understand

We noticed you haven't yet had a reply so we wanted to share some information that might feel helpful. We have lots of information about living with osteoporosis on our website, including about understanding DXA results: theros.org.uk/information-a...

We also have a helpline of friendly nurses who can chat things through and offer specialist advice. Find out more about our helpline here: theros.org.uk/information-a...

Wishing you all the best,

Lulu
