I am sorry you are in pain. I have no fractures, but face fusion C3-7. I know about pain. Find a doctor who will listen. When you are in that much pain it is hard to focus. Pain can and will make you throw up. If you are not getting the help you need, go to someone else. It took alot of doctors for me to find one that would listen to me. I have DJD and DDD. I do get good pain control until very recently, that tipping point happened, down into degeneration. I wish for you all the best, and I hope answers are found for you soon. Ginnie It was me who figured out something more was wrong, and asked for the CT. None of the other doctors suspected this kind of degeneration. You know your own body better than anyone. If you know there is something wrong, you are probably right.
