Just attended my yearly rheumatology appointment and saw an SHO rather than consultant (it sounds as if they are busy closing down face to face appointments for the time being and relying on telephone conversations, I think i was one of the last)
The main thing was that following the Dexa scan report they insisted I need more bone protection. My blood test also showed calcium slighty below the range. So, I have been referred for a Zoledronic Acid infusion in a couple of months time. I refused Aledronic Acid. My hip is showing a T score of -1.6 and Osteopenia I am pretty sure this hasn't changed in 2 years but can't find the results. My question is, do you think this is really necessary? Been on pred since 2011.
