Resty,

Sorry, drinking milk will not change anything on an x-ray. Over time, drinking milk along with vitamin D, can help to build stronger bones, but that would take quite awhile to produce any visible effects on the bones by x-ray (if it produced any effect at all).

Wishing you the best. Good luck.
