I have a mild wedge fracture at L1 and I'm not sure if I should get surgery or just stick to bed rest and physio. What's the better option for healing properly without making things worse?

View allI'm 4ft11 and really want to increase my height can limb lengthening surgery help me reach my desired height? What are the risks and recovery like?
it's not so easy it has too many complications and post operative period is not so smooth...height depends on average height of your parents... if your parents are short then nothing can be done...take nutritious food ,protein rich food like chicken ,fish , pulses ,egg ,milk ,butter. Do Stretching exercises in early morning like skipping, cycling, swimming helps you a lot...Exercise at least five times per week. By using exercises that help with gaining height, you will naturally increase the level of growth hormones in your body. Certain weight training exercises, high intensity sprints and bar hanging can help you achieve this. you must strengthen your abdominal and back muscles first to get the most out of your exercises.
