A67-year-old female with past medical history of rheumatoid arthritis on chronic steroid treatment and past surgical history (PSH) of complete hysterectomy secondary to fibroids presents for routine visit. Patient states that she has had multiple arthralgias worsening over the last 2 years. She had a DEXA scan done that showed a T score of -1.5. She has been taking calcium + vitamin D, and even started an exercise program at her local gym. She was started on bisphosphonates, which she has tolerated well.
Prior to discharging the patient, how soon would you counsel her to repeat the DEXA scan?
