What Do Early Osteoporotic Numbers In A Bone Density Analysis Report Mean?
I just received a letter from my doctor today that said from the result of my bone density analysis is showing one bone in my back with early osteoporotic numbers. Not sure what that means? The remainder of my bone scores are showing some thinning. but not osteoporosis.

For that Alendronate like bisphosphonate group of drug needs to be given....
If calcium less than cholecalciferol sachet taken with milk once a week....
Take care..
Hope this will help
