Mild fractured spine 4 weeks ago still in pain is this normal?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
This is normal: Fracture healing time at least 6 weeks, and could be longer as there is no way to "rest" your spine.

Yes : The fracture will take at least 8 weeks to heal. Then there is the associated muscle weakness /spasm to overcome.
