NOT a Fracture: Stretching more likely to pull a muscle in your back which can HURT!!! Put some Ice on the area and take Ibuprofen! Its not time for more X Rays yet! Hope this helps! Dr Z

Shooting pain?: Go to your doctor for evaluation and treatment. If you already have a hx of compression fractures your spine maybe more frail than the average 29 year old. I hope you feel better soon.
