L1 fracture and L5-S1 disc protrusion
Had a traumatic fall on 11/01/20.. Pain had decreased gradually... Conservatively treated... Wore Taylors brace belt for two months... Now on LS belt... Previously I used to smoke... But now I don't smoke... Now I feel pain in my lower back in the L4 or L5 area and just to the side of that while getting up from sitting position or from bed. Or during bending forward slightly... Apart from this there is disc protrusion seen in L5-S1 area.. But no pain in my legs or buttocks... No other neurological problem... My job required extensive travelling... Can I ride bike again? Can I play football again... Becoz it's my main hobby.. Will this fracture will create any problem in future... From when can I start playing football once again?? Attaching my recent CT scan ...
