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.

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?
