A5. Any fracture that occurs with minimal impact/trauma, requires an evaluation of one's hormones and chemistry. This can be done with one's primary care doctor, orthopedic surgeon or endocrinologist. #creakychats

A5. Fracture Liaison Services= a great service available in some hospitals when admitted for a fracture. It provides a team approach from multiple specialties (physical therapy, ortho surgery, endocrinology) geared towards fracture prevention& bone disease eval. #CreakyChats

A6. The first resource for information on your bone health, should be your doctor. They can assess your risk factors for osteoporosis + decide if you need a bone density scan and check labs pertinent to your bone health #creakychats

A1. Some of the physical signs that should make you concerned for bone disease: Loss of height over time, significant change in posture (where you are more hunched over). If you have these physical changes, bring it up with your doctor to get your bones evaluated #CreakyChats

A1. Chronic steroid use (taking steroids for >6 months) is the most common risk factor for bone disease. Its so important to discuss how to optimize one's bone health as soon as someone is prescribed steroids. #creakychats
