Xray film of Lumber spine

2023-02-27 18:35:57
Hello Doctors Today did Xray of my spine... I was having an old L1 compression fracture... (Three years ago).. I am neurological intact...Was treated conservatively... Was doing yoga also...From last 6 to 7 months i was not doing any sort of exercise.. Now from last few days i was feeling mild ache in my back..Also having some weak sensation in hips and lower legs(doesn't stay for long).. After going through the Xray plate I got confused that Xray plate is showing same type of image as it was earlier (fracture site).. As per local doctor it has United healed...But full Bone is not replaced... Why is there gap in the fracture site?? I am really worried.. Please guide me!!

Nothing to worry for that gap in xray if you have no neurological problem.. For pain, you can apply local gel and do rest for few days.. I think this will solve your problem.

Xrays should be interpreted in clinical context. If neurological deficits appears, then, further investigations may be indicated.

The L1 compression fracture doesn't look to be healed in good position on x ray.. You must be examined clinically for muscles power,sensation , reflex and your bowel/bladder habits.. Any discrepancy in examination if related to your fracture level, you need attention!
