Yes I experienced this last year , lifted something heavy and fractured L1-2, and L2-3 and 2 weeks later 3 and 4. Very painful had 2 kyphoplasties surgeries.
They do heal but you need to get on bone building drugs immediately!!
You will feel the difference.

Yes it takes you off your feet but it will heal .I wore a back brace that helped. Like u, I was active biking. Walking and even the fitness center.
It gets better. Im.still.in.pain a year later but only after I stand for a half hour and goes away when I sit.
I'm on Forteo pen injectable for 9 months. Really helps alot!! Hope you are on something for osteoporosis!! It's a must. See rheumatologist.

I am sorry about all those fractures. I just recently went on Tymlos. It has only been 5 days. I am titrating the drug. Will build up to the full dose soon. People mentioned several times in the past to go on the drugs. I didn't, because at the time I was feeling good, plus I was scared of the side effects. Now I have the should of, would of voices. Now I have severe Osteoporosis.
Did the Kyphoplasty help? I was told I wasn't a surgical candidate.
Thank you so much for your feedback. It helps knowing I am not alone.
