Sarah, I have continuing back stiffness left hand side from the above injuries incurred while doing too much heavy work not realising I had severe osteoporosis. The initial injury T8 occurred 3 months ago now and scans showed I further injured myself doing light lifting since then. I have been wearing a brace on and off. I think it is settling a bit ,though still wake up very stiff in mornings and very restricted to what I can do. Have to be very careful reaching over in bed to turn light on.I am 60 years old now and am frightened of becoming old before my time, also losing height and becoming stooped. What can I do to try and recover? Is recovery possible. I know once compressed the vertabrae can't expand again. Do you know of any similar cases with positive outcomes.
Thank you for listening, Sarah.
