Dear patient
As per your case your spine is osteoporosis there are chances of vertebral compression fractures. Since you have undergone vertebroplasty before 2 says with pain olin other area of spine , new level compression fracture is likely possibility. I would advise Xray of involved spine region anteroposterior and lateral views to rule out bony abnormalities.
