fractures but for myeloma-related fractures to his back and it helped him immensely. I asked my mother for her recollections and she described as a minor procedure and she doesn't remember any complications, difficulties or side effects arising from it. He went through a period where he had a lot of medical procedures performed in a relatively short period of time, so in that context it was something that helped his pain level a lot.

Sorry I don't remember more specifics about the procedure. I truly hope you get some relief from your back issues.

Please let us know if you get this done and how it goes.
