T11 Fracture: D11 (dorsal vertebra) is perfectly acceptable, but us docs are used to T11 (thoracic vertebra). 3 years after injury, i would guess several things are going on: 1) disc above the fracture was injured and is now degenerative and painful (narrow canal) 2) kummell's disease (nonhealing fracture) 3) the spine is imbalanced due to kyphosis 4) there is an unstable joint or ligament injury 5) other.

Additional informati: If this was associated with a big fall or MVA, you may want to see a spine specialist for medial branch rhizotomies at T11 and T12. These can be done in the office with light sedation and local anesthesia. I am concerned about thinning of your bones, especially if this fracture happened spontaneously or with only mild trauma. If this is the case, you need a further workup. If you use nicotine STOP
