Compression fracture diagnosed on our 6 year old
Our 6 year old boy fell from a height of 5' and landed on his buttocks. He has been complaining of back/spinal pain that has awakened him at night. He was diagnosed today with a compression fracture in the L1 area. What are or could be the long term effects of this? We still are gathering information from our physicians but want to know if anyone has experienced this situation before.
