I would love to take a bone scan test, since I had a stress fracture 2 years ago. Though my guess is that I'd be fine, but you never know what the results would be!<br /><br />On a side note, I asked my PT person what she thinks the problem with my knee is, and she said that it might be a muscle attachment problem or something - the pain is in inside left knee, a little below the knee cap in terms of height. It is in a similar spot as my runners knee injury from 2 years ago, so maybe it is simply related to that.

Aren't there pics of you on here basically being tall'ish and thin? That's also interesting about the body fat percentages divided into various parts instead of one general number. It sounds like a much more accurate assessment. Oh, and 11 flights of stairs?

They even do a bone scan! <br /><br />Glad you were able to save some money and get some peace of mind. Keep up the good work! L.A.
