Ace-Garageguy Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 That's pretty serious. Glad you can still type, and I hope you're fully recovered as soon as possible.
cobraman Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 So sorry to hear this. How the heck did that happen ?
Xingu Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 Do what the doctors tell you. I broke 2 vertebrae and did not know it for about 10 years, until I lost the feeling in my legs. I now go for surgery about every 5 years or so.
rel14 Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 My thoughts and prayers are with you. I got steel plates in my back , neck and feet,,,, Oh lord I can tell when the weather chances before it happens , get shots every month, pills every day, still have humor, entered a snail race,, and I lost...

I'm not trying to be insulting with this question because I had a compression fracture to my L1 in Dec 2011, but how could you not know for 10 years?? I walked around for a month not knowing I broke mine before I finally went to the hospital, and the only reason I did go to the hospital was because I couldn't stand the pain anymore.

Unfortunately, I am good at dealing with bad pain. I can put it out of my mind for some reason. Mine were also compression fractures. After about 30 seconds of rolling around on the ground in pain, I was able to stand up and walk around. It felt better everyday after that, so I never went to the doctor. Every now and then it would just feel like it was a deep bruise that would never completely go away. The same thing happened with my shoulder, torn labrum and didn't find out until years later. I am absolutely paying the price for not going to the doctor when the injuries occurred. My body now reminds me it was injured every morning. On the flip side, I cannot handle the small cuts and scrapes. I will complain about a paper cut for days.
