I just read the headlines Posts: 4483	A dear friend had an accident yesterday and was diagnosed with avulsion fractures of L1 - L4. Has anyone experienced this and was there a particular therapy/product that helped with healing and/or pain?

I just read the headlines Posts: 4483	No bone breaks, but lots of pain and torn muscle. I was wonderingif BOT or Tommy Copper or some other therapy would help speed healing and help with pain

Life Saver Posts: 10477 Location: MT	I've had 2 wedge compression fractures in my spine. At L2 in 2011 and T11 in 2006. I found that my BOT long johns and tee shirt really helped when my muscles would go to spasming. It also helped with the aching. I also have a BOT back brace that worked for me but wasn't supportive enough for riding. When I started back to riding again after the last fracture (of L2), one of the Pro Choice back braces really helped me. Otherwise I could hardly sit up straight on my horse because my muscles would seize up on me within 10 minutes of getting on to ride. I only used it for a month or two before I was strong enough to go without it. I still have some troubles (aching, stiffness, arthritis) and frequently wear my BOT clothing which helps. I have heard great things about the copper as well. Edited by ruggedchica 2015-07-12 8:56 PM
