I have an old compression fracture at L1 years ago, slipped on the ice and fell right on low back - I had 2 rounds of steroid injections and that is the worst on my Bone Density scans, my back. How is your back after having the fracture?
I also recently had a CT scan to check a lung issue and the pulmonologist commented” that’s interesting I’m not seeing your L-1 spine fracture. “ so it’s possible. I later asked the imaging lab tech that did my DEXA about that, and her comment was it’s possible something was in the way. So he didn’t see it. And after that I brought it up to my endocrinologist and she said with a minimal fracture it is rare, but possible for it to heal such that it’s not seen anymore .
I took that as potential good news with my healing. My fracture was categorized as minimal-placed at the 5-10% range.
