My dad had a compression of D10-D12 vertebrae because of a fall. He is completely on bed. how long will it take for him to get better. As a follow on, what is the diet he should follow so that he can regain the spinal strength. Will he be able to lead a pain free life.
Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern. Generally after a fracture of this kind of it is stable (like I suppose in this case, otherwise your dad would have had spinal fixation) it is recommended a 6-week bed rest. Afterwards he can return to his normal activities with certain precautions. Generally these cases go well. He might have some back pain, but not serious or debilitating kind of pain. Wish your dad the best health. Please feel free using MHC again.
