Abdominal Discomfort

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Glasgow, UK

thoracic compression fractures causing much discomfort under ribs / top of distended abdomen: constipation also
With lower ribs pressing on top of pelvic bone
Other than stretches / physio exercises anything I can do about it?
Feels that a well fitted back support would help ?
I am 81. Was very fit before fractures occurred

Drink plenty of water. Eat apples for fiber.Are you able to do some walking?
Also Mineral oil for constipation
Ask doc/pharmacist for dose
So sorry for your pain.
Feel better soon

I think a back brace helps a lot. I don’t wear one regularly . They are hot. But if my back acts up and tries to go out on me or if it hurts badly I will wear a Muller back brace I bought from Walmart. It helps a lot and usually one full day of wearing it and I am okay again. I also have a massage mat with heat that helps some but not as much as the back brace.

I am caregiver to my 93-year-old mother-in-law and 8-year-old grandson. I wish I could walk. Achilles tendinitis and severe osteoarthritis pain keeps me from walking.
