I too have broke my back,  L2 had shattered. I am 50 and even though I do have family and friends near by I still do not get the help and encouragement needed. I feel for you just know you are not a lone. The hardest thing right now is I do not have insurance either, and I can not work or wokout either which was a very important part of my life. What I am doing is researching excercises a person can do without weights or bending, there are many things we can do if you do your research, do not give up, also read get motivatedm take time to heal....you will get through this!
