I tripped & fell back in April & suffered  a mild anterior wedge fracture of vertebra T6 (ie the vertebra in the centre of my spine between my shoulders.

Has anyone else had a somilar injury, & if so did you use a back brace?

I’m still waiting for an outpatient appt at Kings after several GP cock-ups (referring me to wrong departments etc) & am worries that a) it’s not getting any bettee & b) that I don’t know what I ahould / should not be doing to help it.

It feels like I’ve been punched in the back whenever I bend down a bit & then the muscles in my shoulder go into spasm - ouch! 

Any advice greatly appreciated thanks.

Hi there. I’m not a medical professional; my ex fractured 3 vertebrae in his thoracic spine when we were on holiday together some years ago. He was given a brace to wear for 3-4 months & saw a physiotherapist weekly, who encouraged him to take up Reformer Pilates to regain strength and mobility when he was a little further down the road to recovery. 

Sorry to hear this.

First of all, change your GP surgery?!

Second, you could try 111 for advice? It's a bit hit and miss but worth a shot?

Third, I have no idea if it's the kind of thing a chiropractor could deal with, but if it is, Daniel at Dulwich Chiropractic Clinic in Crystal Palace Road is very good.

    • A silly title, Truss set such a high bar I doubt whether anyone can ever match her level of incompetence. Paul Johnson spoke on inheritance tax on one of the political programmes.  Any inheritance tax is controversial, and he considered farmers should not be an expectation I was underwhelmed and incredibly disappointed that there was no increase in fuel duty; Labour chickened out and I will be telling Rachel's sister this view. Paul Johnson has written a good article on his analysis and that the budget was not at all revolutionary https://ifs.org.uk/articles/budget-was-non-event-and-kicked-big-decisions-down-road If you want something to worry about look over the Pond
