Thanku for replies. I had ct scan yesterday mri in 10days. Then spinal surgeon 21st July. 4yrs I had 1st break...living ideal life fuerteventura but knew I wasn't getting better so came back to England...thankfully I bought small property Gloucestershire. Fast forward now 7 breaks but nerve compression waist down is unbearable. Ive chronic breaks l2 l3 but burning legs feet balance problems mean im virtually housebound.
Pain is lonely as people see lady 76 smart but can't understand what Im going through.
Sorry to ramble but losing mobility is the worse state to be in.
Im not looking for sympathy just answers.
Also thanku for taking time to answer.
God bless Helen

Dont lose hope i've been there also original #T12 absolute agony but had a good surgeon, lower back problems started later but now hopefully sorted, some rt leg weakness and rt leg nerve pain so i understand the frustration of losing mobility. Still on crutches but improving, when you've been active all your life it comes as a bit of a shock to be reliant on others. Dont lose hope. Wishing you well.🥰

@A MyOsteoTeam Member, I had 2 steroid injections in spine 2 weeks ago for pain in my lumber area which spread to my right hip.
My arthritis is a little better but I have to have physiotherapy for my pronounced bumps in my back. My arthritis is worse in early morning & gets better as day progresses. It is also bad in wet weather. The days are warming up. 25C Max next week. My daughter who lives with me has started to drive again,which is good for me.
She drives home after our shopping trips etc.
I hope you find relief from your problems soon. Hugs Josie from Sydney, Australia.
