Good Morning! I have osteoporosis and with chemo have fractured 5 and broke one vertebrae. The broken one they did Vertebroplasty (cement) and had to stay on bed as much as I could for 2 days. .Pain Clinic couldn’t get me in for 2 months. Since than it shows on my scans as healed. Surgery was a piece of cake.
Good luck! Colleen

@colleenyoung, Thank you for sharing Coleen.

@richcolleen what do you mean when you say you fractured 5 and broke one vertebra? I thought breaking and fracturing were the same thing.
