@paulinea Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I also have osteoporosis. It's good to know that your L2 spine compression fracture is healing. I'm curious what your doctor told you. How are you supposed to turn over in bed so as not to cause another fracture?

My doctor advised to roll rather than a swift twist when turning in bed. It is about turning whole body rather than twisting upper body? I now practise this when getting in and out of car. Hope it's helping.
