Impact Of T8 Compression Fracture On Emphysema/chronic Bronchitis.
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.

Anyone Have A Compression Fracture At T8? How Did It Impact Your Emphysema And What Are You Doing To Manage Your Symptoms?
If You Have Mild Emphysematous Changes In A Ct Scan, Would That Be Diagnosed As COPD Or Emphysema?
Has Anyone Had A Compression Fracture That Had An Impact On Their Breathing?
