Hi there,
I'm sorry to hear about your fractured spine, especially at such a young age. I'm assuming you know how it happened?! For pain relief, you need to see your GP. The strongest analgesia at the pharmacy, will probably be a mix of paracetamol 500mgs & codeine 15mgs, brand name 'Panadeine Forté.' I'm sure they'll have a generic form to make it cheaper. It may be enough for you.
please don't go to a Chiropractor, they can be dangerous, & not recognised in many countries. As your spine is fractured, the Chiropractor could make the damage much worse. You'd be better off going to see a Specialist in spinal injuries, your money would be far better spent that way.
Good luck!
