Yes,surgery is likely.Was referred to a group of surgeons BUT what I was told it would just hopefully take away the pain.Way I understood it mobility is questionable.

Trying to think positive.I am fortunate that the fracture wasn't in my neck.I'd hate to be a quadriplegic.My neck and head hit a bookcase.

I honestly think it has been long enough that the break could very well be healed and they are wanting to just inject "cement" to lift the vertebrae.JMO
