But your question really caught my attention, because I am dealing with the same topic right now, stress
fractures, but mine is in the spine. I had a
bone density scan done 2 years ago,
and it came back with slight osteopenia, not unusual for a woman my age, 2 years post menapausal. After a stress fracture occured 6 weeks ago, another bone density scan was done, and in 2 years it shows just my spine has progressed to osteoporosis.
