Today I had a dexa scan - comparing my test from 2 years ago, which was going in the wrong direction. The recommendation from @SilleeMee let me to use bamboo extract in my morning coffee.
The scan showed 1.6% improvement in the hip and a decrease of 0.8% in the spine.
I will have her explain how there can be an increase and a decrease in different areas but overall it was a good report.
...thanks @SilleeMee for the recommendation....

What do you have to do for this test. My doctor wants me to have this. Do you have to get into a gown or what? Thank you for your time. And about how long is this scan?

Very simple, keep clothes on just lie down on a table in a few different positions, and a scan goes over your body, from above, takes just a few minutes.

I have osteoporosis and have Dex scans every 3 years.
I don't even get undressed, just lay on an x-ray table clothed, a foam wedge under your knees (propping the knees up), takes no more than 20-30 minutes, and I'm done and out.
My osteo is in my spine and hip also, I use Prolia.
