Rest day.
Got the results of the bone scan -- the trabecular bone in T8 has a compression fracture. This is the mesh/web like bone, not a break across the outer portions of the vertebrae.
Oh boy.
I can keep running, as treatment is by symptoms. Given that I've been mostly pain-free the past 4-6 days (?) there is no treatment. But if pain continues, it might need to be cemented. Dr M says I'd be the youngest or 2nd youngest he knows of to have that.
He wants me to see an osteoporosis specialist ASAP. He doesn't want to see me over the next few years with more of the same.
I'm OK so far with the diagnosis. This should bother me?! Maybe it will sink in later? Maybe I'm in denial until I see the specialist?
