Beware of sudden osteoporosis

[ans]

Hi. I am having more pain so I had my 3rd bone density scan. This one, however, revealed osteoporosis in the hip but I do not think in the spine. The deal is that a sudden change can be an indicator of several diseases (or none, e.g. if one took lotsa prednisone) - some benign to downright sinister e.g. multiple myeloma. So if this happens, let your PCP refer you to a hematologist/oncologist.

Best, Allan
