I need to pick your brain again---Vertebroplasty

You guys have helped me again so I'm taking the liberty of asking for help again. This is about my 85 year old mom again. She has spinal stenosis, severe osteoarthritis of the spine on numerous areas and had no positive result after a recent epidural. what do you all know about vertebroplasty and positive/negative opinions please. Oh, she has early COPD and atrial fibrillation

Hi ~ The only thing I know about it is they inject an acrylic cement into the fractured vertebra to stabilize it. It sure SOUNDS like a good procedure, but so did my surgeries, and now I'm disabled. LOL :D

Hopefully some others will chime in with their opinions, experiences. Best of luck and I'll say some prayers for your dear Mom. God bless. Hugs, Lee
