I am 67 years old. Due to a fall last year, it resulted in a spinal compression fracture. Mri report is: cervical spine shows mild spondylotic changes cv junction is normal. Disc dehydration is noticed at all levels c5-6: mild posterior disc osteophytic complex causing mild impingement on thecal sac. No obvious nerve root compression. Spinal cord: shows normal signal intensity. No focal lesions. Impression: >acute mild compression fracture of l! vertibral body with diffuse marrow ocdcma. >no retropulsion. >old anterior wedge compression fracture of t11 vertebral body. Sacralization of l5 vertebra with rudimentary l5-s1 disc. >bilateral neural foramina are compromised at l5 causing impingement on bilateral exiting l4 nerve roots due to spondylotic grade I spondylolisthesis & pseudo disc herniation. Following this I was on medication consisting of pain killers, antibioticaand calcium tablets. Now I am not using any drug. I donot want to go for surgery. I am havinf constant blow back pain due to which myu movement is very much restricted. I am unable to sit on the floor and even with effort I sit, it is very difficult to get up. Can you please suggest a follow up action so that my pain is reduced and I will bwe able to move without much pain. Thanks.
