Hi Doc,

I have been diagnosed with a Posterio Inferio chip fracture at the L5 Vertebra of the spine.
Also a there is a Inter-Vertebral Disk space compression st L5-S1 discs of my spinal cord.

Actually I experienced severe pain while standing in a bent position 2 days back, following which I got an X-Ray taken, which showed the above.

I have been advised a Lumbar Sacral belt.
The belt does help me maintain a proper posture, but I believe it is because of this only, I have also started experiencing some muscular pain.
I never experience such pain before wearing the belt.

I am currently in a state of shock and astonishment, after reading the word 'fracture' and disk space compression in my report.
I have googled this and relative scenarios, but haven't been able to understand the situation clearly so far.

Light on the same would be highly appreciated.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Pratik.
