fractured back

Hi, sorry been incommunicato, with mom's passing and life, I found three weeks ago that the source of most of my back pain is that i have fractured a disc and it has collapsed and its sitting on top of the other discs pressing into my sciatic nerve, fun huh? I have lost 8 more pounds , so that's good as I'm not allowed to exercise waiting to hear what's next...

Judy, I can so sympathize with that back pain! I was diagnosed with DDD before my surgery and disc pain is amongst the worst pain I've endured in my life. I hope that they are able to do something to alleviate some of the pain. What is the plan at this time? Lea
