Same thing happened to me a few years back, I popped a few vertebrae in my spine. Luckily that was it, and I healed up fine. Hope you get better soon!

I popped a few vertebrae in my spine

You mean the disks ruptured? Can that heal? I was under the impression that they stay ruptured - like worn out shocks on a car.

I’m not sure what the right word is in English, but it was like small cracks in two of my vertebrae.

I was under the impression that they stay ruptured

That I don’t know, the doctor said there was nothing they could do. Just had to wait a few months and then get an X-ray to see how it was. I had to wear this kind of exo-skeleton thing for a while to keep my back straight. After that, the doc said I was good as new… but I always wonder if they just say that so we don’t worry too much! ~lol

That’s it. In Portuguese we call it a ‘fratura’. ~lol

i was wondering the same: compression fracture, or portion of a disk popped out of disk-space?

I think it's only muscles and tendons got their asses handed to them by gravity and concrete... so imma just lay low for a day or two. Also I am now looking as if I'm 25% smurf and these days where the overseer may ship you to some foreign prison based on racial profiling... you never know. Better safe than sorry.

I'm generally good on that - just missed the handrail when I slipped. For now, I'm just going to take the elevator when its been pouring instead of 6 flights of stairs. Behave like everyone else.
