THORACIC COMPRESSION FRACTURES AND POSTURAL CHANGES

Yes! Yes! My body looks the same! I’ve fractured 4 vertebrae in the last year. The most painful was T-12.
I had Kyphoplasty done on all 4.
3 months ago started Tymlos but had to take a week off because of heart palpitations. If I get them when I start tomorrow, I have to stop it completely. (Blood clots could occur)
My stomach sticks out so far and I’m only 107 pounds.
I’ve lost 2 inches in height. I didn’t realize until I read your post that my body does seem to be folding in on itself. Always wondered why my stomach stuck out so much. How awful, huh?

@eileenvan Regarding your Kyphoplasty. I am glad it worked out. Maybe I should get a second opinion.
Yeah the postural changes can happen. Just google Thoracic compression fractures and postural changes.
I have lost 2 inches also in height, including the belly thing. It happens mainly in the Thoracic part of spine.
I have a hard time looking in the mirror. It looks so strange. And it makes me sad.
