I fractured my back 3 montsh ago and right where the fracture is burns pretty badly. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Burning can mean unhealed structures, inflammation or nerve pain. Many fractures of the spine also involve soft tissue injury, disc and nerve injury. After 3 months, it's time to follow-up with your doc to get more answers. Possible MRI for further diagnosis or other treatments should be considered.
