Lumbar fractures
I had a stress fracture back in 2011 in my L4 vertebrae. I wore a back brace for 6 months and the proceeded to carry on with sports afterwards. After just a few weeks of getting my brace off I was in excruciating pain. Went back to get an MRI, doc said I had broken off the processes on my L4 and L5. Not sure if they were spinous or transverse because I dont remember. I still have immense pain daily. Is it too late to get surgery? Did my body already attempt to heal and fuse incorrectly? I’m 21.
