I am Murali (30 years old), I found my new joints are slippery and weak, if I walk more or when I climb stairs I feel bit pain in my knee joints. What could be possible reason? Is it a serious one?

Dear Lybrate User The main way to determine your bone density is to have a painless, noninvasive test called dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA)�that measures the mineral content of bone. The measurements, known as�T-scores,�determine which category - osteopenia, osteoporosis, or normal - a person falls into (see graphic).
