“Question about fracture?”
I have severe osteoporosis with a history of compression fractures in the back and fractures to the low back. My question is: I was hopping air for about 10 seconds and then felt a strain in low back, neck and shoulders. Could that have caused any fractures?

It would be hard to comment without examination. I would suggest to see your spine specialist.

With severe osteoporosis, it certainly could. Probably should get an X-ray if pain persists more than a few days.

Yes, with the history you have provided, you are at risk for additional compression fractures. You should seek medical attention as soon as possible.

It’s possible. If not getting better, you possibly need to see your specialist.

Yes, it could, especially if you have a history of osteoporosis and vertebral fractures. If your pain is severe and does not get markedly better in a few days, then you need to have your back X-rayed.
