Last week I had a bone density test. I only have them every two years as that is what medicare funds. I had been taking biophosinates for for 7 years until about a year and a half ago when I became aware that the jaw pain that I was experiencing may have been caused by them. I stopped the pills and no more jaw pain.
I was concerned about the bone density test as I had stopped taking the pills and my mother had very serious osteoporosis - I fit the profile. The results of the test confuse me as some of my bones have lost density and others have increased in density. For example one of my hips lost 9% in density but the other one gained 11% in density. Why these results?
