Hi Jackie, welcome...If you have osteoporosis I would assume you are seeing a Dr.  Not sure why you'd need another reason to seek medical advice.  If you are worried about a fracture, be sure to have that checked (x-ray).

 

Be sure to be checked for Secondary Medical Causes for bone loss, since they would need to be treated seperately.

 

Also, see if you are taking Medications that Cause Bone Loss.

Good luck...
