I'm about 4 months into recovering from a D12 compression fracture, but I'm still experiencing severe back pain and my legs feel like they're twisting. I'm worried and wondering how much longer it might take for the D12 area to heal. Is this normal, or should I be concerned about these lingering symptoms?

My doc recommended surgery for my condition but I'm wondering if meds and rest could work instead. The MRI shows the issue but I'm hesitant about going under the knife is there a non-surgical option that might help?

yes surgery is advised.
