![]() I had loads of X-rays and was diagnosed with spondilolisthesis - the impact of the fall had caused slippage of vertebra which makes up the spine. Spinal injuries can lead to long term pain - I know, as years ago I slipped on a shiny surface and landed on my lower spine/buttocks. Whichever Dr told you he doesn't believe you should not be in his profession. The rudeness of this orthopedist is stunning to me, so I booked an appointment with a neurosurgeon in another hospital.Ĭould someone give me more information about this? Is this long healing time normal? Do the MRI resullts indicate a possible neurological issue? Working on the computer is very painful (static position), I have to lay down after about an hour and a half. I go out and walk a lot, do the physiotherapy three times a week, do the household, cook and light grocerie shopping. I also have numb areas around my belly button, next to my spine, my buttocks suddenly turn ice cold and numb when sitting for about an hour. Seen him again 2 weeks ago, being very impolite with me because I told him I'm still in a lot of pain, daily. Dr seemed to have 'forgotten' to prescribe physiotherapy. Wore the brace until end of January 2015, trying to gradually leave it off for longer and longer periods of time (very painful). pressure on the dural sac, neuroforaminae intact. It showed oedema in the fracture which meant that it hadn't healed entirely (that's what he told me), also showed minimal deviation of posterior wall with some angulation, narrowing of the spinal canal and mainly the anterior liquor space. November 11th, dr did an MRI because I was in so much pain. I was diagnosed with a L1 compression fracture (anterior is compressed by 37%), was hospitalized for a week, and had to wear a back brace. Beginning of September 2014, I fell off a ladder (about 2m high), right on my lowerback/buttocks.
