Got an email from my doctor....... xray of thoracic spine shows compression fracture To: Chuck Mullin 7/15/2013 3:17 PM MDT Xray of your lumbar spine showed marked degenerative changes. Xray of thoracic spine shows compression fracture. Compression fractures are managed supportively (ie pain medication). This also suggests you have osteoporosis (pathologic thin bones). I have ordered a bone mineral density to test your bone strength. Call 303-338-4545 to schedule a bone mineral density. And I ordered more blood tests to look at your calcium metabolism, this is a nonfasting blood test that you can do at your convenience. Electronically signed by: MD
