A member asked:
I had a t6 compression fracture a year ago, it healed but now im getting really bad lower back pain as well as pain where it broke, are these related?

Expected: these fractures tend to heal in a collapsed or kyphotic position. studies have shown advantages to kyphoplasty procedure to restore the posture and position of the vertebral body. I promote the procedure early because once it "heals" it will not be amenable to surgery and you're stuck with that position. Long term you're left with exactly what you're complaining about. Also risk of other fractures
