Hello all
I wondered if anyone has had any personal experience of squashed vertebra. I had an x-ray on my thoratic spine and this showed two vertebra were squashed. I am booked into have a DEXA scan on Monday and there will be an MRI appointment coming as and when. I am apprehensive about the outcome of this, but am keeping very positive. I have OA, low back pain, cervical spondyolis and fibromyalgia (spellings may be bad) and can cope with pain but this is came as a shock.
Any ideas or comments would be very welcome. Gentle hugs Chris

Your overall treatment may include medications to relieve pain and improve bone density.
If OP is a culprit, doc may prescribe you vitamin D and calcium supplements and other bone strengthening drugs. This is a critical part in order to avoid future fractures
Get well soon!!!

Keep smiling, Keep positive.
I think, at first, new diagnoses seem very unfair and we rail against them but, after a while, we just add 'em to the list and carry on
Add another condition to the pot, really what difference can it make. Probably more tablets to take and just get on with life.
I smile and keep positive and get on with my life. I know where to come to get any support I need - this forum is full of lovely people.
