Wow...yes, easy to spot. I had the same compression fracture but mine was due to osteoporosis. I'm really careful now and taking Vit D and Ca+ every day Mine happened as I was just leaning a bit over the bathroom sink...when it went, I almost dropped to my knees...

I feel for you bro...big time. Wish you had insurance and could have that surgery. At least look into the bargain I mentioned before...Some Docs will do that. Hell, I'd mortgage the house if I had to...but that's just me... I'm a wimp when it comes to that kind of pain...
