How long it takes to get out of bed with a brace after conservative treatment of a lumbar compression fracture needs to be analyzed according to the recovery of the fracture and the clinical symptoms it produces. If the recovery is good, you can try to get out of bed in about 1 month, and if the recovery is poor, it takes 2~3 months.
If a lumbar compression fracture is not particularly serious, it can be treated conservatively. Early on, bed rest is needed, and it is not possible to get out of bed too soon, otherwise it will easily aggravate the pain and even induce injury.
If the patient with lumbar compression fracture treated conservatively recovers well and does not have symptoms of significant pain in the lower back at the later stage, he or she can consider wearing a brace to get out of bed in about 1 month, but should not be overly strenuous.
If the recovery of lumbar compression fracture after conservative treatment is poor or the symptoms of lumbar pain are more obvious, it usually takes 2~3 months to consider wearing a brace to get out of bed, and getting out of bed too early may affect the recovery or even aggravate the symptoms.
During the treatment of lumbar compression fracture, it is necessary to carry out functional exercises gradually under the guidance of a professional doctor, and not to deal with it blindly on your own.
