Osteoporosis is very common in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. It also increases the risk of fall and thus the risk of fracture due to imbalance. It needs to be assessed by a rheumatologist and appropriate treatment needs to be provided. Please let me know where you are and I can provide the reference of a local rheumatolgist
