What is the best treatment for spinal compression fractures?
My husband is 83 years old and has numerous compression fractures in his spine and we are trying to find ways to relieve his anguish. Any help would be appreciated.
Answers: Does your husband have recent urinary/bowel incontinent problem or motor weakness or sensory loss within both legs? If so see a physician ASAP as he may be suffering from cauda equina syndrome. It is also advisable to see the physician as an MRI is likely to determine the extent of damage. Spinal decompression surgery might be warranted if spinal impairment is severe. Unfortunately, at this point it sounds like over the counter medication will provide minimal help. NSAID (naproxen) can alleviate some inflammation and provide some relief, but it sounds close to you need something stronger that only a physician can prescribe. Best wishes.
