Sorry to hear about your back. I went through something similar a few years back, but mine wasn't a compression fracture. L4 and L5 were broken when I was assaulted and I landed on a rock. It gets better after a while, but it's going to hurt like hell while it heals up. Hopefully you have good doctors and you make a full recovery with no lingering after effects. I still have issues from time to time because of cold weather or moving around too much, which has basically limited me to a sit down job where I can get up and move around to avoid sitting in one position for too long.

I'm sorry that you've had to go through what I am now. In my case I slipped on some ice on the way to work. Thank you for your kind wishes. I have to say, no I really don't have good doctors tbh. Got an xray, a toridol (basically ibupofen) injection, 2 cold packs and 2 heat packs and sent home. Hopefully I can still work when I get out. Generally I do inventory at a warehouse, lots of bending, sitting, standing, walking, etc.
