I have a fracture at the T12 and I've been off work for 3 weeks. I finally got fitted with a back brace this past week, but I'm still in mega pain in the lower back. Constant spasms that let up for a brief period after I take my pain meRAB. 10 mg Lortab every 4 hours. At 3 hours the pain comes back really bad, but I stick to the 4 hours, and my hubby helps me.
Any suggestions on getting the pain to ease up. I have tried heat and it feels good but doesn't help in the long run. I see my Neuro. again next week.
I also have bulges in the L3, L4, L5., but the fracture I did in one instance at work.:(
 
I feel your pain! know exactly how you feel and it is going to take a couple of months to heal but you need to call you dr office and tell them that what you are on isn't helping much and could they suggest something more or something else...there is all kinRAB of pain meRAB and you shouldn't have any or much pain at all throughout your recovery if the doctor is medicating you correctly...but you need to speak up. good luck.
