Fractured l1 & s3 almost 8 wks ago & pain & physical limitations are beginning to return. why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Incomplete healing: I tell patients in the office to plan on 6 - 12 months for full healing of most injuries. You may be doing too much too soon. If you are increasing your activity too soon you may have aggravated the fracture, made it worse. If you have a compression fracture, you may have caused increased compression. You may just have sore muscles from activity too soon. Ask your doctor for an X-ray
