question: While on vacation, I lifted a too-heavy suitcase, heard a loud pop in my mid back and felt an odd pain. Then trying to get up from a sleeping position, found it extremely painful to move, like getting electrocuted. Had MRI and contrast MRI, have compression fracture on T11, and the T5 & T7 show dialation with benign fluid (no tumors). I am still feeling pain 5 months later, and have been told it will never get any better, it will only get worse. Is there anything I can do to make it better?
