No, I've never had a doctor tell me I needed to bulk up. I've weighed the same since high school. Pediatrician told my mom "he's small-boned -- don't let him play contact sports".

That was from a crash in 2002, on a wet mountain road. Broken into 4 pieces. The ER doc said hip replacement, ortho doc said “no worries, I can fix it”. Still going strong — the joint, that is. I’m slower due to age. Originally Posted by bblair

What 91st percentile?Originally Posted by RChung

I'm 1st percentile in bone density. Basically at the low end of low-end. I sure hope that's wrong
.I've never had a DEXA scan but from what I found you need the T-score. If this was a scan you scheduled on your own then it might not be conclusive.
What I found...

Which did you get?

I took this to mean that you're thick-headed. Which, to be fair, doesn't mean that you're big-headed.Originally Posted by terrymorse

Ha! I didn't see that. I have no idea how to process that. Maybe I'm just too thick-headed.Originally Posted by RChung

I got the full-body DEXA, so not diagnostic of osteopenia. I'm going to ask my doctor if I should get a diagnostic scan.Originally Posted by Sal Bandini

Thinking that it likely should be OK for *diagnostic scan* just for possible future reference. My 3rd Diagnostic will be later this year since Prostate Cancer diagnosis 10 years 11 months ago today. My Bilateral Orchiectomy, 10 years 11 months ago tomorrow has done a job on bone mass and density along with muscle loss, fat increase resulting in strength and endurance being shot to hell.Originally Posted by terrymorse
