Do Compression Fractures Of The Vertebrae Really Heal?
A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have been diagnosed with 2 compression fractures one of T7 and L4 over a year ago, T7 still causes me pain especially when I'm on my feet for extended periods of time and when I perform house cleaning jobs such as vacuuming and mopping floors. I work in retail so I have no alternative but to be on my feet for 7 to 8 hours a day. Everything I've read said they should heal within 6 to 8 weeks but I just dont that is my case. Any feed back is welcome!

Has Anyone Experienced Vertebral Fractures And Scoliosis?
A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭

I refused bone meds out of fear of side effects and have suffered four vertebral fractures and scoliosis.

I’ve been in a recliner for seven months and I feel my life is over. Can anyone relate or help me?

Diagnosed With Osteoporosis
A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was diagnosed today. I haven’t stopped crying. I have been a very healthy person. I’m scared after reading about the side effects of all those medications.
