Hi beckaboo

So your partner has two broken vertebrae but hasn't been offered any treatment?? Did he just get sent home from the hospital? What about pain and pain relief?

I'm afraid I/we can't give you any adviceunless we know a little bit more about what caused the injury and what's happened since; it's all a bit confusing!

Hi there trust me if he doesn't rest he could end up with a life of pain. I'm pretty sure through 20yrs of experience he would rather have 8 weeks off now.

I tried to go back to work after thoracic surgery ended up with

CRPS so a life of massive pain

Flair ups etc . It's difficult if your used to being busy but 8 weeks is nothing. I do hope he gets better soon and takes the advice given .

All the best dave
