I met up with a bunch of potholes and came out of it with a compound compression fracture in the L-1 vertabrae near the end of Feb. I can finally sit for longer periods of time. I had Kyphoplasty the 29th of March after being bedridden for 5 weeks in agony. The procedure got me out of the wheelchair (I couldn't walk or sit before) At this point, standing around bothers me the worse. But the muscles in my back are finally getting stronger...I go to the gym and use the treadmill 3 times a week....Up to 1 1/4 miles in 25 minutes...Yay for me ! LOL
I take 2 tylenol in the morning and 2 at night for pain and seems to work well. Started taking the grapes in gin cure and that just might be working too. I seem to be getting better faster now. It's just amazing that I can walk without pain. Borders right on miracle.
