How To Treat Compression Fractures In Spine With Benign Fluid Caused By Lifting Heavy Object?

While on vacation, I lifted a too-heavy suitcase, heard a loud pop in my mid back and felt an odd pain. Then trying to get up from a sleeping position, found it extremely painful to move, like getting electrocuted. Had MRI and contrast MRI, have compression fracture on T11, and the T5 & T7 show dialation with benign fluid (no tumors). I am still feeling pain 5 months later, and have been told it will never get any better, it will only get worse. Is there anything I can do to make it better?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your worry, you do have only one option and that is complete bed rest at least for 7 weeks, in fact without the actual examination and without the study of MRI it is very difficult to advise you in your case, such case demands complete clinical examination then and then any thing can be said on concrete basis, after taking the rest there could be some chances of healing of fracture, take care and I would be glad to help you in future, have nice day.
I find this answer helpful
