A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spine Surgeon: She should ask her primary care doctor about osteoporosis medications to help prevent future fractues and a referral to a spine specialist for standing x-rays and possibly an mri. She might be a candidate for a vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty. These are procedures to place bone cement into fractures that have not healed.
