@jimmy05 Thanks for that information. My OP is most severe in my back and I've chosen not to take any meds at this time. Two meds (Tymlos and Forteo) are not an option for me anyway because I have parathyroid issues. So, I am very cautious about lifting or moving anything.
Did you get any kind of treatment for your fractures, or start on any bone meds to prevent future fractures?
Thanks again!

@daisy17 for both of my thoracic spine fractures at t7 and t8 were the same. For the first 8-12 weeks I wore a back brace with 3 metal rods on the back of it to prevent me from bending forward. I wore it from the time I woke up until I was ready for bed. I then started physical therapy twice a week after orthopedic surgeon said that the fracture was healed. I just had my forecast infusion on 2/12. Daily I take 600 mg of calcium and 2000 IU of vitamin D, I drink 1 full glass of milk, 1 full glass of orange juice with vitamin D and calcium in it, I eat 1 Greek yogurt. Rheumatologist wanted 1200 mg of calcium daily 600 from pill and 600 from eating and drinking. That more than covers me daily..
