Wednesday

At one point I was considering kyphoplasty after a compression fracture, but my surgeon disappeared. I'm glad I didn't do it now as there are significant risks and it can actually cause more harm than good. My pain was pretty bad but not bad enough to warrant that, for some it gets rid of the pain immediately. Mine improved over several months but my back/spine will never be the same. I'm a lot more cautious now.
