Need Medication For Compression Fracture In D12,shoulders & Legs

Hi,
I had a compression fracture in D12 around 5 years back, and was recommended physiotherapy sessions for back stretching. However, the backpain seems to be consistent which is not extending to shoulders, neck and to some extent pain in legs as well.

Hello,

I have studied your case.

You may need to see doctor and get MRI spine and further investigation.
You need decompression if fracture is compressing spinal cord.

If there is no neurological involvement then conservative rest is sufficient.
Spinal cord compression may increase over long period.

Later on follow rehabilitation and physiotherapy.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
