My oncologist was concerned about my chronic lower back pain and ordered a bone density or DEXA scan to rule out any structural problems. These scans are typically done on older women to look for signs of osteoporosis. That being the case the scan tables are pretty short and I had a little trouble getting positioned correctly, but all ended well. I got the results a few days later and everything looked fine, structural problems or evidence of osteoporosis. In fact my bone density was above average. My chronic back pain was probably a neuromuscular problem.
