Alysia, are you pre-menopausal or menopausal? It may be that bone density scanning isn't really done until then, because a woman still having her cycle still has the active estrogen cycle protecting her bones.
That's so interesting about the difference between ethnicities when it comes to bone density.
The stress fracture I had healed fine, but if I hadn't experienced it I'd never have believed how much something that small can hurt. I've never had a completely broken bone but it gave me all new appreciation for those who have dealt with that, if just a stress fracture in a small bone hurt like it did.
