It’s not a good score. U need to consult ur orthopaedic surgeon. The T-score on your bone density report shows how much your bone mass differs from the bone mass of an average healthy 30 year old adult. One standard deviation is equal to a 10–12% difference in bone mass. If you are exactly equal to the peak bone mass of an average 30-year-old, you do not deviate at all from the average so your T-score would be 0 standard deviations (SD). If your bones are stronger than the average adult, your bone mass may be +1 or +2 SD indicating that your bones have a mass 10–20% above that of the average 30 year old. If your bones are less dense than the average adult, your standard deviation may be -2 or -3 indicating that your bone mass is 20–30% below that of the average 30 year old.
