Authors Michael Stauff, MD and Ben Mitchell, MD of the University of Massachusetts discuss their paper "Patterns of concomitant injury in thoracic spine fractures" with NASSJ editor in chief Jonathan Grauer, MD.
I fractured 6 vertebrae T5-7 T9-11 from a trampoline accident. Sitting for any length of time is unbearable and I feel like the missed something in the ER. I’m experiencing upper GI issues, heartburn, belching and hiccups. I order a back brace from Amazon today. My ortho ordered an MRI and they can’t get me in until March 10th. The pain gets so bad I want to go to the ER but what’s the point! The did a CT and sent me on my way with a broken back!
Looking forward to your presentation.
Had a spinal fusion T7-T9 a little over a year ago now. Parachute related injury from the military lol. Very interested in these kinds of studies now.

I set a timer on my phone for 1 hr and get up to move with assistance from a Walker. Only wear brace for 1-2 hrs to avoid muscles getting weaker.
