Dr. Kolb, Dexascan results

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I had a dexascan today for bone density and thought these results were interesting. Do you think there is any possible correlation to the implants?

Scans were done on my hip and on my spine.

Conclusions:

The bone density of the hip is normal.

The bone density of the spine is diagnostic of osteopenia.

Lumbar 1 -2.4

Lumbar 2 -2.1

L 3 -1.7

L4 -1.9

It appears the higher up my spine, the worse the bone density is. They stopped the scan below my bra line.

We've got studies posted on the group that indicate that bone deterioration occurs around silicone joint implants. Do you think silicone implants can have an effect on the spine, with the proximity?

Thanks for your input.
