Non union fracture in the back.

Hello,

I have a non union fracture in T11 rib just 10mm from my spine. My specialist is unable to help me any further. They say it's too risky to operate as the injury is so close to my spine.

I am in constant pain. It's been over 12 months now. I'm usually an extremely fit and active individual.

I'm looking for someone who has treated a similar injury to look at my scans and hopefully give good advice.

Surely I'm not the only person in the world with this injury.

Thank you.

Carla.
