I'm 31 years old. I was in a car accident about 6 weeks ago. I fractured the T12 vertebrae, a compression fracture and have lost 20% of the vertebrae height so far. Today a doctor at a Spine Pain Center told me he could do Kyphoplasty to prevent more loss and reduce pain. But I'm so scared of nerve damage and that fact that the cement could leak into the nerve canal or cause other issues. Has anyone gone through this and have any thoughts or recommendations about whether I should get it done or not? I probably have just another week or so to do this before fracture is completely healed. On top of this I have other issues due to this accident, but I'll keep this short. My ribs are also forward now, spine is straight instead of the curve I had in the thoracic region, as a woman, now my spine is forward and straight like a man. Between my shoulders I can tell it's inward now, and my ribs are sticking out above my breasts and also poking into my orgsn/lungs. If anyone could provide feedback soon I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
