instruction: hi doctor months back had a spinal compression fracture of the t12 vertebrae caused by a large fall into water currently it is stable meaning I can walk and move no gross deformity I have motor and sensory function within normal limit I have aggravated pain when I bend forward or sit or stand for longer than 10 minutes but I can walk around without pain it is basically just a bone in my spine that is squashed to around 70 of its height and is pressing on the spinal nerve most fractures like this heal in a few months but mine never healed I saw a few different doctors which told me a few different things I got rays and a it scan I would like an opinion on the best non invasive treatment
output: hi I have seen your it scan and rays it has been sometime now since you got the injury and I would not expect any more soft tissue or bony healing now suggesting non invasive treatment now would only comprise of daily physiotherapy and extension exercises you need to strengthen your muscles to take the load of the body and reduce load taken by the spine suggesting any invasive stabilization procedure to you would require looking at mri scans rather than it scan but your options unfortunately are limited interns of non invasive management based on physiotherapy only I would not even recommend braces for you mri if ready for invasive stabilisation procedure none as above physiotherapy as of now as wished and required by patient
