L1 and L2 fracture
In March my wife met with an accident and injured her L1 she was on bed rest for 1 month and was not working for 3 month, later this month when she started working on job she was suffering from back pain.
She did an MRI and this time she was told that the fracture was in L1 and L2 and was not recovered even after 1 month of bed rest.
Can the fracture heal without surgery as she dint take complete bed rest for 3 months and instead she took bed rest for a month and was freely moving after 1 month.
A doctor has suggwst for vertriboplasty where as other doctors has suggest not to do that as she is only 24 yrs old and can recover with bed rest.
