So I had an accident taking my ATV out of the back of my truck April 13th right before the turkey season resulting in a compression fracture of my T-12 vertebra by 35%. For the last 11+ weeks I've been in a back brace (Aluminum not the turtle shell), next Thursday is my Dr appointment to do a final x-ray and get this dam brace off of me, I have PT appointments set up for once I get free. I find that as the Dr visit gets closer the more apprehensive I am becoming about what to expect. The good thing is nothing happened to the spinal column area, the compression fracture was just the front part, no nerve issues. I have been working my lower body out pretty good for the last 4 weeks but for 3 months nothing at all for the upper body, all in all I am feeling really good but I haven't bent my back for a long long time. I have 1 1/2 months to rehab before my Sept moose hunt and would like to hear anyone's thoughts on what to expect after I shed this brace.
