I had a back problem as a kid they called Scheuermann's disease. Is that disease still around or have they cured it like polio? I never hear anything about it. 8 weeks 19 hours ago 22
I'm 25-years-old and feeling old. Turning a quarter-of-a-century has really caught my attention. One thing that keeps coming to mind is the fact that I had Scheuermann's kyphosis as a teenager. I've avoided wearing a bathing suit every since. Now and then my back hurts and feels "twingy." Is this from the kyphosis? What can I expect over the next 25 years? Am I going to get worse? 8 weeks 19 hours ago 35
I am looking into having a vertebroplasty for a fractured spinal bone. Although I'm only 66-years-young, I do have significant osteoporosis. I don't want to end up a stooped over old lady and I've been told this little procedure helps plump up the bone again. Is there any reason NOT to have this done? 9 weeks 22 hours ago 24
I had a vertebroplasty at T12-L1 for a compression fracture (probably from osteoporosis). Now three months later, I have another one right next to it. Am I just going to keep fracturing one after another of these bones? Is there any way to stop this from happening? 9 weeks 22 hours ago 49
Our 14-year-old son was in a terrible bike accident last night. They have him in ICU and are trying to stabilize him in order to do surgery. There's a bone fracture in the lower thoracic spine that is pressing on his spinal cord. They say he could be paralyzed but they won't know for awhile. How long does it take to know for sure about things like this? 26 weeks 22 hours ago 130
