You mean the disks ruptured? Can that heal? I was under the impression that they stay ruptured - like worn out shocks on a car.

That I don’t know, the doctor said there was nothing they could do. Just had to wait a few months and then get an X-ray to see how it was. I had to wear this kind of exo-skeleton thing for a while to keep my back straight. After that, the doc said I was good as new… but I always wonder if they just say that so we don’t worry too much! ~lol

centralized medical doctors usually don't know what to do or essentially say: "there's nothing we cud do that wudn't harm you;"
u probably have a small compression deformity (as seen in a sample image below); if u got an X-ray, then the smallest one u cud see wud give u issues for a few months; if u got a CT, small ones are visible, maybe a few weeks of recovery; if it were seen only by MRI, then it's essentially meaningless; there is a wide variation of what is small and what is large - sometimes decided by whether surgeons are getting greedy and want referrals...
i think everyone shud be curious how their own pictures look like and ask around for an additional look;
