I just joined this group so am just now seeing this post. I hope you are now fully recovered.

I fractured my C2 (odontoid type 3) 13 months ago in a freak fall. No surgery necessary. Three months in brace before the bone fully healed. Been doing PT ever since. I’m doing very well overall though still fighting to regain full range of motion. Fully functional with the exception of not riding a bike. Manageable level of pain.

How are you doing now almost one year out?

@juju690 --doing great, going for CT scan in Sept-- the culprit was my back stenosis, etc on multiple levels. Went to see Dr. about the Aurora Zip Procedure; he said nerves were so compressed he couldn't see them. Now I will be getting an MRI for a LAMIECTOMY, hopefully soon because alot of back pain down both legs, calves, ankles and feet. Waiting for MRI and then talk to DR. and make appt for operation, hopefully real soon.
