L1 fracture please help

2023-01-03 16:17:59
Hi 1 month ago i had spine fracture and my neurology doctor asked me to bed rest complete for 2 more months also to use LS belt while seating and to avoid walk. My question : - can i remove belt before before and after lifting from bed ? If i get up from bed without belt , will it affect the healing . - how longer can i sit and stand daily . So far i am using belt even when i am sleeping . Thanks for your time in reading and reply.

Please see a neurosurgeon. It is an unstable fracture and may need fixation
