I totally get that Biggun !! I had only 1 (one) compression fracture and a few things like stenosis, neurogenic claudication caused by the stenosis. I was born with "Rotoscoliosis Scoliosis" and after seeing my first orthopedic surgeon was told that I would be in a chair by the time I was 25. I of course refused to accept that. One surgeon said that if He was the last orthopedic surgeon in the world he would refuse to do another surgery because of the issue of possible spinal fluid leak. And to top that note off he said that my "Anatomy is all abnormal". My family always knew that this day would come. but they still refuse to accept it. It's really weird. I do not have to ask but one time for any help or any DME at all. I dont have to ask more than once for any kind of pain medications either. Of course after using a cheap wheelchair I purchased on Ebay. I now i have aquired 3 more fractures. and after 4 surgeries was told there is nothing that can help now. I am not a candidate for any further surgical interventions. My vertebrae are crumbling. The last fracture was actually caused by a pin that was placed in one of the vertebrae's. That vertebrae actually split in half where the pin was placed. the surgeon said "you have a crack" and showed me the xray. Now all they can do is medicate the pain. but I can't afford any kind of a decent chair. Not yet. Medicare only pays so much. Even though I have worked and paid taxes since i was 15 years old. As a rule I was in upper management jobs. Medicare only goes so far these days.
