Thorasic Compression Fractures
I had a work place place accident in Feb 07. Smashed my mouth, teeth and r/ Knee. I fell from a bulldozer and put my head into a steal step, knocked out, and suffered a lot of pain in the back middle and lower.
My doctor put this down to whiplash and after some many months, it started to go away. I had an op on the knee and whilst on light duties was made to baen and grind for many hours.
I felt my back spasm a number of times and stiffen. I could not walk for nearly two months after this.
I was sent for xrays, CT and MRI. The reports all said Shreuemanns but the MRI came back and said compression fractures are long standing. There was a number of disc that had issues as well. My question that I would like answered, is that the specialist just say i have this desease, they never comment on the compression fractures. My doctor is convinced that this was caused by the accidents, as I lost 4 centimetres in height in Oct 07. How can I prove that these really exist and I dont have shreuemanns. I have constant pain in both legs and loose control in them all the time. I am on a lot of drugs and this itself keeps me from working. Any help or thoughts from anyone would be great. Thanks.
