I've got an L1 anterior wedge fracture, but why is it that the only real muscular soreness (when I try to sit up unsupported) and slight tingling (when I assume a fetal position) occurs roughly above and in front of my right hip?
To my knowledge the fractured vertebra hasn't impinged on the spinal cord at all so I've got no other guesses. I did spend most of the past year lying flat so it could be muscular atrophy in that particular area, but I'm uneducated about this sort of injury so I'm not sure if that's viable.
When the injury occurred in February last year as a result of gym trauma I was diagnosed with a paraspinal muscle spasm and spent a lot of time lying down as a result, but since I found out it was a fracture last month I've been trying to spend a lot of time sitting upright (supported) in chairs to retrain my muscles. I've also been doing planks to strengthen my core recently.
As said above, I only really have issues with one area of my lower back and I've got no idea why that's the case, does anyone have ideas? Picrelated is the medical diagnosis of a full spinal xray, following pic is the xray itself.
Thanks /med/
