Spine damage

Drink your milk! I wish someone had told my dear mother that. Or, maybe they did and she just didn't listen. I don't know. I do know she has severe osteoporosis. She fell a couple of weeks ago and wound up with a compression fracture in her back that has caused her a lot of pain.

She has other issues as well, so the doctor is trying to alleviate those first. Then, the doctor will see if she is a candidate for laser spine surgery to correct the fracture, or if it's something they are just going to allow to heal on its own.
