Message: [QUOTE="Lockysillegitimatechild, post: 2927540, member: 8814"] Everybody panics when they hear it's a spinal fracture (understable given worst case scenario that can happen) but there are plenty of different types of spinal fractures. In short, the fracture would have been stable and had no risk of spinal cord involvement. The way the spine is stacked and the fact movement and weight can be distributed at different levels or areas within the back is either a hinderance or a benefit depending on the fracture location or type. Often the specialist will simply say "you have a fracture in your back, carry on with life, maybe take it a little easier then normal, it will heal on its own. If it gets worse or you get any neural symptoms let me know. See you in 4-6 weeks. That'll be $600 thanks" They're commonly missed by even the best radiologists or specialists. They either knew about it and the risks were minimal, or they simply missed it. [/QUOTE]
