Impact Of T8 Compression Fracture On Emphysema/chronic Bronchitis.

A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭
Ottawa, ON

Recent T8 fracture. Increased breathlessness, extreme fatigue, mid-back & stomach pain, greatly reduced walking.
Morphine sulfate to (minimally) reduce pain but resulting constipation.

@A MyCOPDTeam Member I'm very sorry to hear you do suffer from T8 fracture. How did it happen: did you fall or did it appear suddenly with no cause, or is it due to osteoporosis increased by corticosteroids (compression fracture) ?
Take it easy as much as you possibly can, may morphine ease your pain.
With tenderness
