2nd time lumbar fracture.. age 19
by matt_bovender, Dec 12, 2007 01:16PM
A little history first. I am 19 years old, male
August 2005 i fractured L-4 playing football. was out of exercise,etc for 5 months..
Yesterday Dec 11, 2007 i fell about 30 feet and landed on my lower back. i walked back to the school and someone took me to the hospital. xrays showed a compression fracture in L-2..
I am a very active athlete, and i would like to stay in shape somehow this time around. is there anything i can do to stay in shape with a fracture like this.. i am in pain now, i wont be doing anything for awhile, but when could i start running or weight lifting again. or even swimming.
