Question

Broken Back


Sent to Health Experts September 15, 2006 6:48 p.m.
Hello,

I recently had an back injury overseas, am having difficulty obtaining health insurance due to a unique period in my life, and am looking for advice. I have a radiology report below (roughly translated from French). With this information would it be safe to assume that there is nothing I can do except rest for the next 4-6 weeks or so, or should I pursue some sort of action, if so, what?

Kind regards,
Charlie
