Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. It appears that there is partial collapse of T12 vertebrae.
2. At present, rest is essential with moderate physiotherapy. Mild exercises, with increased intake of calcium and vit D is necessary.
3. Thoracic spine support is necessary. Bone mineral density testing and treatment with biphosphonates is essential. Avoid further stress, and if any nerve compression, surgery is essential.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
