I was told there was a window of time for kyphoplasty.

I have had that sensation and it seems to be either muscle or GI. Is it possible it is gas in your GI system?

Mine goes away so although I have mentioned this sensation I have never pursued it.

If the pressure in on one side it seems unlikely to be from the fracture itself. I have so many muscle spasms on the level of my fractures so that might explain what happens to me. Hope someone helps you!

Nah its not my GI system. That was the first thing my doctor suggested, but I am certain the discomfort came from the lumbar area, whether it is the bones or the soft tissues I don`t know. It is a sensation that never goes away in my case, it feels like the norm now that this part of the spine feels compressed, so I have to pursue for an answer.
