Hi @windyshores ,
I have questions for you. I know that you had a lot of fractures and understand this better than me. Suddenly I developed the worst pain in my thoracic spine. It’s radiating to both sides. Just below my ribs. I am not sure if I got fracture during my therapy which was last Monday. Or this is related to my 6th Evenity shot which I had yesterday. My therapist is very knowledgeable but he is using a lot of manuał work on my back. The pain didn’t started right after therapy. That’s why I am so confused.My density is very bad. I had one old fracture in my thoracic area it wasn’t painful and this hurts so bad . Tramadol doesn’t help at all. The pain subsides when I laying on my back. Or maybe this is from Evenity shots which was very painful and doctor decided not to switch right now to Tymlos because of insurance issues. I probably should go somewhere and do x- ray . I also have MRI scheduled for beginning of December. Any advice?

I have had hx of 2 thoracic back surgeries the last due to a fx. I started Evenity 3/24 due to my density getting worse and increase in Fx. After my 6 th injection I began having s/e. First dizzy then pain in thoracic area left leg/hip, left arm (hx of tendon tear). I am now walking with a cane and have cervical stenosis and left arm tears. I am looking at 2 more surgeries after I finish my evenity. I was told since I had para-thyroid disease the only medicartion I could take was reclast (did not work) or Evenity. If i can make it to February I hope all gets better.

@sunny65 I sometimes get x-rays when I think I might have fractured. I have learned to wait a little and often it turns out to be muscles. But in this case yes I would get an x-ray.

Are you having massage lying down? I absolutely cannot do that. I sit! The one time I had a massage lying down I felt like I had fractured ribs as well as back!

If you feel better lying on your back it is not likely to be a fracture in my experience. In that kind of situation I use patches: lidocaine, capsaicin, menthol, whatever works for you might help.
