If you asked your GP, I'm sure he/she would do the FRAX calculation for you. But I agree, it should be done as a matter of course.

Not sure Frax scores are that meaningful if you already have a fracture. Mine was low then they found 2 vertebral compression fractures 🤷‍♀️

Maybe it's more related to risk of having weak bones and/or risk of falling and breaking a hip, leg, arm, etc.
