Hi All,
I've got a dexa scan on Monday.....due to this fracture THR post op.
They think I must have osteoporosis.....Probably have....the last scan showed up as Osteopinia 3 years ago.
I'm due a repeat scan this August {3 years from the last} but they brought the appointment forward.
Oh well......probably something else to get my head around
Love
Hileena

Hi Hileena
I wish you all the best with the Dexa. I hope you do not have to join me in the OP group.
It is defo something to get your head round if you are diagnosed with it, speaking from experience. GP's are often clueless on this subject unless you are very lucky.
I have joined two OP forums which were and still are most informative and helpful, the US one being more so as it is a massive forum.

Good luck with it, Hileena, I remember it being a straightforward process. You need to know what's going on and this should help with diagnosis. I'll be there in spirit. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Thanks everyone
This is the third one I've had over a period of years.
The last one they told me {unofficially} right away that I had osteopenia
Hopefully they will tell me this time as well

Its 9.30am
Just got a telephone call from the hospital
We have to cancel your appointment. :shock:
The machine has broken down :x
We will send you another appointment when it is up and running.
WONDERFUL!!!! :roll:
When you are ready to go...to get a call like that is very depressing.
Love

Oh bother - at least they rang rather than letting you arrive before telling you. Still, it is a blow because we do get ourselves psyched up for these things. I am sorry. ((())) DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

How annoying for you Hileena. :roll: At least you were told early so can now re-plan your day.

Oh blast- how frustrating. Seems to me you need to treat yourself to something you really like as compensation. Have a good day,
Deb x0 -
It was good that they let me know early
I am annoyed....if that is the word....frustrated might be better.
Deb.....you might have a good idea there.....treat myself LOL

Hi Hileena,
Sorry about this. I hope you've had a good treat to make up for the frustration; a strong cup of tea and a couple of choccie bics tends to work for me! I'll be available for pocket duties when necessary
Best wishes,
PheePsA (psoriatic arthritis) and other things since 1990. Happy to help when I can :-)0 -
Hi
Thanks everyone for your sympathy.
I'm only getting round to answering now. I've spent all day today at a Volunteer meeting {Arthritis Care} I'm a bit brain dead now
Love

Hi DD

Yes......time to put my feet up....I haven't even looked at the files I've brought home with me. They can wait
Love
