I has a bad fall 2 yrs ago , landing on back broken L1 . I was in full back brace for 10 weeks with no improvement. So I had kyphoplasty 2 weeks later . Initially there was improvement . but I after so long you stop trying to lay flat on back asleep and what with moving in sleep . I wake up in chronic pain , also after walking for a while . It seems to be getting worse with a lot of nerve pain in left thigh and buttock .also I have started getting urinary incontinence.
Is there anyone out in similar situation ?
Hi Susan,
I suspect you have a disc compression of the nerve roots...doctor pronto, just give symptoms as you did above.
kind regards

I went to Dr's Friday last and she put me back on gabapentin. . But it's not really helping if anything getting worse . I will make another app .
I have to agree with ihavenonickname. I was always told that if you lose control of your bladder it is a bad thing. So as she says "doctor pronto"
Good luck! I hope everything works out for you.
Hi Susan,
How are you doing?
I think your compression is way low like L5.
kind regards
