Jezza,
My dexa came back fine about 2 years ago, but the radiologist or Dr who checked my ankle xray told me I do have a problem in that ankle. It broke very easily. I'm going to take caltrate with vit D when I get around to it. GP wants another dexa but I don't see any value in it.

That sounds interesting Janette. I just had a bone density test this week and I'm not expecting good news. I saw lots of minuses on the report which I guess means decreasing bone density...just don't know how much is acceptable at my age.

Might ask my GP about it when I go back to her...don't like the SE of headaches though. I wonder what area you put it on and how much you would have to use?

Applying nitroglycerine ointment increases bone strength as effectively as existing treatments for osteoporosis, according to a new study.

Dr Sophie Jamal from the Women's College Research Institute in Canada studied almost 250 post-menopausal women.

She found daily application of nitroglycerine ointment substantially improved bone structure and strength in women.

Side effects included headaches.

The study has been published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
