I'm about 4 months into recovering from a D12 compression fracture, but I'm still experiencing severe back pain and my legs feel like they're twisting. I'm worried and wondering how much longer it might take for the D12 area to heal. Is this normal, or should I be concerned about these lingering symptoms?

View allCan an MRI show if a tendon is completely torn or just damaged and is it possible to heal a damaged tendon without surgery
Yes, an MRI can differentiate between a completely torn (ruptured) tendon and a partially torn or damaged tendon. It can also help determine the extent of the tear and assess any associated injuries, like avulsion fractures. Many damaged tendons can heal without surgery, especially partial tears, through conservative treatment options like rest, bracing, physical therapy, and potentially injections

I have a 9mm full thickness ACL tear and need surgery - what type of specialist should I see for this procedure? I'm a bit unsure whether to go with an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in sports medicine or a general orthopedic surgeon since they both seem to handle ACL repairs
for an orthopedic specialist if necessary. Make sure that your doctor is medically qualified to treat your ACL tear completely. ACL tear repair treatment and surgery are performed by experienced orthopedic surgeons, so general or family practitioners aren't ideal for treatment.
