If they're looking at bone density then there's a possibility of osteoporosis and yes, it can develop in men as well as women. The first most people know about it is when they get a fracture. The good news is that there are now treatments which can actually restore the bone density, rather than just stop it progressing and, from some reading I did a short while back they may be more available in the States than over here in england. I hope so.

There's a history of osteoporosis in my family which is why I've kept an eye on developments in the treatment. I always say know your enemy.

Thinking of you and sending good thoughts your way.
