I too have 4 compression fractures from Osteoporosis as well , 66 yrs old . Have you tried by chance a intercostal nerve block? I had one after a Kyphoplasty but did not have good luck… I hope to have radio frequency nerve ablations next month. I only had pain when I exercised until I sadly went to a Chiro that injured me. Hoping you find something to help you….

I'm sorry to hear that your pain increased when a Chiro injured you!
My medical provider only mentioned a kyphoplasty, but I declined based on his saying my unstable fractures were probably too severe to support one. I haven't heard of intercostal nerve blocks or radio frequency nerve ablations. From what I briefly read, a nerve block uses a steroid - might that worsen osteoporosis?
