Beanie, my belly bulged out also after my spine got comp. fx's especially the thoracic spine. I do not like it either and will continue to wear a belt to keep my spine together while they all heal.
I just had gall bladder surgery and contributed it to that but then realized it maybe more from the spine folding inwards pushing the bowels as I am up to 8 fx's. Now on Forteo thank god and getting stronger.

I’m sorry to hear you’ve had 8 frax, jackieo1919 but happy to hear that Forteo is helping. I’ve had “only” four compression frax but, after looking at x-rays and plenty of online images searches, I can see that the location of the fracture(s) may be causing the forward “folding” of the spine :(. I’ve lost an inch in height which might also be adding to my sagging belly. Honestly, though, this sagging didn’t occur until after 9-1/2 months of treatment with Tymlos and all of my fractures were prior to that. I try to accept that gravity is not my friend and I need to do those core exercises to give my aging bones some support. I need to get to it! Happy New Year - 2025!
