Dexa scan results

[BaddieThePirate]

I had a Dexa scan in 2018. That is the year I started C25K.

I got recalled for another scan a couple last month, and today I got my results from the doctor.

A T-score of 0 is a healthy YOUNG adult

-2.5 = osteoporosis meaning you've lost bone minerals and bone density.

2018

Spine -2.1

Total thigh bone -1.6

Thigh neck -1.1

2020

Spine -2 (so improved)

Total thigh one -1.3 (improved quite a bit)

Thigh neck -1.2 (a bit worse)

Overall it looks like the running, and probably the digging at the allotment have strengthened my bones a bit, which is rather a good result I would say

Excellent news!

[RunaroundSue Graduate10]

That is good, I am sure the running and digging have helped

[Hidden]

That is so encouraging! I'm sure every little helps 😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

A brilliant result I’d say

[Runningroni Graduate10]

That is good news. So now you will need to keep running. When all this madness is over I will come and eat a bit of breakfast with you, after our run of course.

🎉 Woohoo! Result 😁😁😁🎄🐱 Xmas Katnap 🐱🎄

[Roxdog Graduate10]

Absolutely! That's good news. From a fellow digger, I will remember the hours on the allotment and running are doing these old bones good!

[Cantstopmenow Graduate10]

Great news, you must be well pleased. Massage may help too , and especially if you've done to much digging. 🤗

[a_in_gsr Graduate10]

Great!

Also after being very sick I lost bone density unfortunately (I am only young) so I am hoping running will help improve things

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Brilliant Baddie. Running has certainly helped my arthritic knees . I’d love to have another scan to prove it and then shout “Running is not bad for your knees!”

[Fleetnot Graduate10]

That's interesting to me. The main reason I run is to preserve my bone density following chemo and ongoing medication that reduces it . Will keep going then.

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Fleetnot]

Yes keep going and stay as well as you can x

Good news Baddiethe pirate. Getting older normally makes these things worse so improvement is not to be sniffed at. I bet you feel better in yourself too.
