Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
first of all I want to know the treatment that has been given for compression fracture of L1L2. was it treated with rest only or operation was done? if it was treated with rest only compression may have led to deformity in dorsolumbar junction with altered mechanical axis and pain. If surgery was done then implant related cause such as infection, breakage may have happened. I would like to advise xray of dorsolumbar spine anteroposterior and lateral views to assess condition of vertebra. Meanwhile start tab diclofenac sodium 50 mg twice a day for pain relief. Strict bed rest for few days will be helpful. You need to consult spine surgeon with report.
