Can A Compression/burst Fracture Of The L1 Cause Indigestion?
Can a compression/burst fracture of the L1 cause indigestion? It's been a month since my accident and my stomach has been causing problems ever since. I've made one trip back to the ER to check out possible kidney stones or appendicitis, and I've had periodical indigestion. I'm 18 years old and I feel like I shouldn't be having these problems. Any advice?
