A member asked:

Can an x-ray show if a l5 pars fracture can't grow back? doc told me it wouldn't grow back. should i get a ct scan? it's been 7 months since injury.

See a specialist : I would suggest seeing a spine specialist. Studies that are typically helpful are ct scans, flexion and extension films and an mri. Check out spine-health.Com.
