I broke my back when I was in my senior year of high school and it was through a snowboarding accident and I played tennis all of my senior year and tennis is a couple months after snowboarding season and it was the season was supposed to start three months after I had broken my back and this was my senior year so I really wanted to play but obviously I was set back a lot because of my compression fracture and so I was in a brace. I was bedridden for about like two weeks and then I was in a brace for three months and then miraculously after that three months I was able to start getting back into activity and then I was actually able to play my last season of tennis and so while a spinal compression fracture is really bad it's definitely something that is possible to get over and you can come back to full activity.
