It is not clear, in your case, why you have so many fractures on the spine without being injured. You may have a bone disorder that makes your bones more fragile – osteoporosis, for example. You can request a densitometry-test (DEXA) and blood/urine tests (alcal phosphatase, calcitonin, parathyroid hormone, Vitamin D3, cortisol, testosteron, calcium and phosphates, urea, creatinin, sedimentation...).
You may want to consult a rheumatologist and orthopedist about your condition.
