Default New Member, A new concern

Well, Recently my brother got into a snowboarding accident, broke his wrist and burst his L2 with a compression of 40%. Now he did not suffer any spinal cord injury which is very fortunate.

The reason why I subscribed to this forum is because I am concerned for my brothers future and that i myself am depressed because of my fathers pessimistic lifestyle.

So, right now my brother is wearing a turtle shell brace (TLSO) and is supposed to wear it for 3 months. We are still unsure if he requires surgery or not, so my question is if he does not get surgery, will he be experiencing pain after? I hear that surgery is crucial if needed, and generally causes more pain in the future.

What are your experiences? Please let me know, Thank you very much.
