Does T9 Vertebral Compression Fracture Heals By Its Own?
I fell and have a t9 vertebral compression fracture back in November my doctor told me it would heal on it's own is that correct after 3 months he took another x-ray and said it had got worse.then he said it may take a year or two to heal on its own i'm wondering if I could get on disability with this.
Hello.If vertebralfracture is small by its own can heals. To know the estimated time of recovery is needed see the image of the radiography.Disability depends on your work activity.It is different for a person with physical work for someone working in an office. I wish you good health. (If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)
