What does commpressed fracture o yourl5 end plate mean besides pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Osteoporosis: If you have not had any significant trauma to explain the fracture, then i would be concerned about osteoporosis. In that case, i would recommend a DEXA scan to test for osteoporosis, followed by initiating medication treatment if indicated. If your pain is persistent and does not improve, be sure to see a physician for further evaluation.
