has anyone broken a vertebrae before?

Don't sit up without the brace.

It's there to stop you twisting your upper body, so until that thought is first nature to you, keep the brace on as the docs/physio has told you to :) :)

Mine was the same. It niggled where the break was, but the pain was from lower down, where the BP dug into me (but, as said before, a) if I hadn't had it on I'd have been paralysed, and b) it was that pain that made me go to A&E).
 
It's all abit confusing - one nurse/physio will said that I need to be able to sit up without it then others say to never sit up without it.

Might be going home tomorrow - need to have an X-ray first to see if the back brace is working correctly. So bored of it all now! I just feel like I'm sat waiting for my food and the tea rounds lol.
