my mom had an accident last sunday, was told she had a core muscle strain and she would be better in a few days. Had an MRI and yesterday and has l1 & l2 fracture, she been up and moving as much as she can. Do you think she did more damage over the week with no treatment?
Hello, As she was of late diagnosed with vertebral fracture. Complete bed rest is advised.  Usually, the vertebral fracture doesn't lead to more damage if it's a non-displaced fracture.  Taking proper bed rest in the initial stages and later after 6-8 weeks doing simple exercises will help her recover well.  There is nothing much damage can happen, so you can stay relaxed.  But please insist on your mother for more bed rest.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In Chat Doctor.
