I've been dealing with a D12 compression fracture from an accident, and at first, the pain disappeared after about three months. But after a recent flight, I noticed some discomfort when the plane was landing. Now it's spreading to a few spots along with the original D12 area. Should I be thinking about going for another MRI or just stick to medication for now?

if the fracture is healed there will not be such problems in flight journey, it may be due back muscles strain because of long term sitting in upright posture, take hot or cold pack, if doesn't subside consult orthopedic surgeon

My daughter has a 46-degree spinal curvature and her back is already deformed with moderate chronic pain. Her scoliosis is unusual because the curve goes into her pelvis, which seems more concerning.

What are the downsides of choosing a hamstring graft instead of a patellar graft for ACL surgery I'm a 19-year-old athlete and worried about how it might affect my performance or recovery long-term Is a hamstring graft worse than a patellar graft for ACL reconstruction I play sports and want to know if it'll impact my strength or flexibility later As a young athlete getting ACL surgery, should I avoid a hamstring graft I've heard it might not be as strong as the patellar option and I don't want to risk my future in sports What are the risks of using a hamstring graft for ACL repair I'm 19 and really active so I need something that won't hold me back later Would a hamstring graft make my recovery harder or limit my athletic ability compared to a patellar graft I'm only 19 and want to get back to sports as strong as before

we can then consider surgical options.
