When I first learned I had osteoporosis, I hadn’t had any symptoms. My doctor recommended I have a DEXA scan, and the test results showed my femoral neck score was in the osteoporosis range. After the diagnosis, I was shocked. I was also embarrassed that, as a Pilates and yoga teacher, I clearly hadn’t been loading my bones or getting the nutrients I needed. I had additional tests done to determine if there was a secondary cause, but there wasn’t.
