Back pain. . .?!


Question:

Back pain. . .?

The T-12 vertebrae in my spine is 20 percent decompressed. . .aka....fractured. I was just wondering if that can be treated. My Doc said there was really nothing they could do, that I had to live with the pain. is that true?


Answers:

I would not take ONE dr's opinion and believe it. (1991- i was 27) 15 years ago - my dr told me I would be in a wheelchair and never walk again, since then- I am walking and I had surgery to have a couple pain stimulators implanted!! I AM BLESSED WITH THE TECHNOLOGY OF TODAY!

DEAR- there is the Laser Spine Institute -that I heard is doing wonders. it is in Florida. I will go there if surgery is needed again because it is miraculous-- (i may go for my neck! just not ready-LOL)


YOU NEED TO CALL , and ask and see what they can do or what they might recommend.

Please dont give up-

If you need someone to talk to - lets chat- I can empathize with you as far as pain goes!
or
Something called VATS (video assisted thoracis surgery) is another treatment

there are lots of treatments -- so dont listen, and with really bad pain, you can get a spinal cord stimulator implanted to help with pain!

SEEK OTHER ADVICE NOW!! then you can go back to that DR that didnt want to be bothered to help you and rub it in his face!

I am also thinking that this bace called ORTHO_TRAC may benefit you -bigtime!!

it is a brace that works like traction that provides cushion for the pain!

I LOVEEEEEED IT!
You may also benefit from POOL THERAPY_ You see, you are 1/3 your body weight in the pool and getting in the water will help relieve that pressure- BUT PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND- YOU CAN OVER DO IT! it is easy to over do it in the water - so just because it feels good doesnt mean it is healed- by getting in the water you can only enhance the healing! PLEASE TRY!

So many more options -
