Case Summary  |  Break in the lower spine

I was involved in a sports accident in 2003 which resulted in a crack in my lower spine right above my tail bone. The doctors who diagnosed the problem advised me that they could do surgery but there would only be a 50% chance of being able to walk afterward. I took the chance and opted for muscle relaxers and pain medication to treat the symptoms. It has gotten increasingly worse over the past few years, and I plan on seeking treatment in a month or so just to see if the odds are better now with medical advancements.
