When to go to Dr after fall

szark: I agree that you can't go to the doctor every time you are bruised but I do think, b/c you have osteoporosis, you should go to the doctor every time you fall. Each time I see my endocrinologist (every 6 months) her first question is, "Have you had any falls?" Her next question is, "Did you break any bones?" If I would not have visited my primary care doctor post-fall how could I answer the endo.'s question regarding if I broke any bones. I'm on Prolia and the endocrinologist has told me that if I break a bone I need to go off Prolia and on a bone building medication instead.

@mkoch thank you. I did get X-rays and I don’t have any broken bones!
