Has anyone here had compression fractures
in their spine? This is the third time for me, and now I have two of them at once. The first two times, I went about my business. This time, I can barely leave the couch. I can't drive, cook, clean, or do my usual activities, including my GOTV and other activist events. This has been going on since the third week of December.
I am thinking about having the surgery to fill in the cracks with a cement-like material. It is supposed to be easy and minimally invasive. The pain is getting better, but it is still excruciating.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
