Bad me i forgot to follow up here. I saw my doc and he took an xray, my screws have not moved at all so he is leaving them there for now. They are small screws with not much purchase. I am already fused from C4-7 anteriorly and the posterior fusion starts at C8 T1 so it is pretty far away he put it in as extra insurance and does not think it matters too much.

WE looked at the xray of my lower thoracic fracture and discussed that for awhile. so next week i am having injections to see if he can help with the pain there and see if my hip pain is referred from my spine . Sure hope so. And life goes on.
I think i typed this somewhere else, but maybe on face book. I don't want to be repeating my self here.
