I had a compression fracture in my lower back around 2011. The ortho I went to said I will probably end up with arthritis everywhere I have had an injury or surgery (back, knee ACL reconstruction, fractured hip, & neck fusion). At 71, I am going strong & working hard around my farm, clearing brush, playing keep away (instead fetch) with my aussie shephard 9 mo old puppy & helped my friend with her lambing & barn cleaning this year & helping unload 50lb feed bags. Planning on doing more horseback riding with friends this summer too. I truly thank God daily that with all the injuries I have had that they haven't slowed me down. My back gets tired after several hours of work but not sore. I totally feel it is a miracle I am so thankful for.
