Suggest Treatment For The Compression Fracture In Back
I suffered a back injury from a fall 11 months ago. I was told today that it may be a compression fracture and should have been treated immediately. My doc screwed up and told me it was soft tissue damage. X Rays were taken today. If positive, what kind of treatment is available to me at this point?

Hello dear Greetings
Sorry about your pain regarding your working diagnosis of compression fracture which if it is depicted positive from a requested x-ray I am suggesting you see an orthopaedic surgeon for further expect clinical assessment and for possible immobilization of the fracture with thoracic splitting jacket as well as adequate drug prescription
I hope this helps
