Spine Fracture
Sir/Mam,
I had road trauma from car jumped from height , a month ago . I went to hospital and told that i have l2 compression fracture and told to rest for 1 month . And after one i visited for second opinion to Spine specialist. He said the fracture type isnt correct. So i get MRI done and he says now i need to rest 2 more months if it doesn't heals then surgery .
.
So following is my situation after one month bedrest :
- one of my toe in right leg feels weird often(cant say if its numb cause i can move my feets and all toes)
-dizzyness when i moves my neck and tries to get up
.
-feeling pulse in right leg occasionally (in night)
.
And depending on My attached reports , following are my questions :
- what kind of fracture i have ?
-how long i have to rest more ( as i can walk without pain )
-i have constant feeling of worried about future as i am not married and just 31 yrs old
If any additional info , regarding care would be appreciated.
.
Thanks a lot for answering
