Podcast: Kyphoplasty for Vertebral Compression Fractures

[msheidi1]

I had this done. My T 12 was fractured. I am still in tons of pain because my back hurts where the fall impacted in my lumbar region. Operated on in May 2011, this is now almost NOV, still tons of discomfort and tiring constant pain. I am now weekly attending chiropractor visits for heat, ultrasound, and electrostimulus treatments to try to heal.

I can die from a Kyphoplasty proceedure?

Has anyone had this done? Does it work for comp. fractures that are years old, or do they have to be fresh?

@whobabydaddy do you know if you can die from this

@pogo506 highly unlikely !
