@dwill2152 Oh, this isn't good news. My elderly mom who has severe osteoporosis had a compression fracture in her back. Because of the osteoporosis, she was not a candidate for the bone cement procedure, kyphoplasty, and she had a back brace instead. She didn't heal perfectly straight, but with an added 43 degree bend because she wasn't good at following directions.

What has your doctor advised for your fracture?

Haven't seen dr yet. Read on portal. Do not have osteoporosis but may have osteopena from fusion. I dug out my back brace from previous surgery and started wearing it yesterday.
