A member asked:

Is it normal for the pain caused by a pars defect to get worse over time? chronic 1 year.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Worse pain w action: This fracture will not heal on its own, so movement will cause increased muscle and occasionally bone pain. Generally in the small of the back or across the pelvic brim. The fracture is not worsening, but activity increases pain. PT can assist for spinal stabilization and ergonomic positioning training, and some will use braces for lifting tasks.
