T-Scores - Endocrine Disorders Message Board

My T-scores are -2.3 for spine and -4.0 for hip. I have noticed some of you have posted your scores. I would like to know just how bad mine are compared to others.

HI,
My T scores are comparable to yours - not too good. Spine -3.8 at the worst level and -1.6 in my hip. Was anyone able to get a DEXA test that tested below L 3/4? I'm afraid the further down, the worse my score is. Just wondering.

My T scores about a month ago were -2.6 in the hip and -4.5 in the spine. I am 50 years old. I am not looking forward to the coming years.

I am 34, my hips are -1.4 and my spine is -2.5

Both of my sisters (ages 44 and 37) also have osteopenia. It's funny all of our doctors have different opinions. We share them with each other and try different things. I'm not nearly as worried about it as I was when first diagnosed (a few months ago).

My oldest sister's hips were -1.9 and her hips are -1.4 - but her numbers have gone up with diet and exercise only.

My other sister hasn't had a full scan, but her wrist scan showed the density to be -2.5
