A member asked:
What would be the best way to treat a compression fracture in l2 or l3 and if untreated what would i look forward to down the road? 22, x-ray at 20.

Depends: This depends on why you have the compression fractures (assuming trauma at your age), how much vertebral body height is lost, if there is any abnormal angulation of your spine at that level, and if there is any significant retropulsion of bone into the spinal canal. The answers to these questions determine the specific details of how you may do in future. However most heal in matter of months.Gl!
