Thanks for your response Glad to hear that you came back from that injury I began to get convinced that it needs a true stubborn to pass through this distress Two of the orthopaedics whom i visited explained that the pain is due to muscle spasms that occured because of the change in vertebral shape and that it should disappear once the fracture is healed and the last doctor i visited added 6 weeks of rest and calcium supplements i'll take your advice and add milk too Thank you for your advices i really appreciate it

Thanks for your response it gave me hope Unfortunately most orthopaedics here are not familiar to airborn sports and they blindly recommend to not to practice it that's why i'm trying to find out similar cases that might give me a hope Most of the doctors i visited assumed that this type of injury could recover within 3 months but since i was misdiagnosed for the first 4 weeks that delayed the recovery but none of them given an actual length of healing And actually i've just knew that i have a bone density issue maybe thats what made me susceptible to get those compression fractures from the fall and the last doctor i visited added more 6 weeks of rest and calcium supplements hopefully i might get better

I'm 32 female 104 Ib Slipped on the stairs 11 weeks ago I was misdiagnosed as back strain at first Then, after 4 weeks, i felt recovery was slow, so I had an MRI, which showed wedged vertebras T3-T4-T5 and slight fissure in T3 vertebral body Honestly, for the first 4 weeks after injury, i didn't fully restrict movements and exercise as i thought it was just a strain, and the pain wasn't debilitating during daily activities and exercise, but the pain at shoulder blades never faded with certain movements like twisting upper back and neck left-right tilting After being diagnosed with wedged vertebras and mild fissure, doctors told me to keep resting, not practising any exercise, even swimming, and physiotherapy was restricted a bunch of painkillers and muscle relaxants and rest But also pain never faded After visiting several doctors, they all recommended rest and medications for relieving symptoms but no estimated time for recovery, which always puts me in depressive episodes and hopeless thoughts that i might not be back to normal It has been 11 weeks now after the injury and i'm still on symptoms relieving medications still suffering from pain living with a bunch of restrictions I'd appreciate it if someone could relieve my concerns about being back to normal and if what I'm suffering from is ever going away P.S. I'm a paratrooper who hopes to be a skydiver oneday
