Compression fracture

Hi everyone.. just an update on my dad. We were concerned about the efficacy of the hormone therapy as he was still experiencing a good deal of bone pain. Luckily, we found out that the Lupron is taking his psa down and he has since started Zytiga.

He just finally went in for a mri (these wait times are ridiculous) only to find out that the pain in coming from a compression fracture. Has anyone had this happen and do you know possible treatment ? I'm sincerely hoping we don't have to wait for his next onc/radiology appt before we can have a plan in place. I am nervous about at kind of surgery for him given his condition.

khyphoplasty, vertebroplasty or radiation may be an option to relieve pain.
