See your doctor: There are many things to consider when assessing and treating low energy (i am assuming this; you did not say) fractures. Start with your primary provider. You could also get an opinion from an osteoporosis specialist. Not all fractures come from osteoporosis, so i would start with your primary since she or he should know your whole medical history.
