OP pain!

Five fractures are a lot! I had one at T8 in December 2023 and still have pain from it if I don't watch my posture carefully and don't do my back exercises every day. The pain has diminished over time but it was at least 9 months before I didn't have pain every day. It does get better.

I hope that if you have healed you are doing some physical therapy to help. One of the challenges I had is that because of the nerve root compression my back muscles got very weak during the healing period. I did 12 physical therapy sessions over a couple of months then continued at home to strengthen my back muscles.

Thank you. Yes, I am going to PT 3x weekly and have been for at least 2-2 1/2 months. Will continue with this as long as I can.
