A member asked:
I fractured my l3 transverse process, i'm a fit and well athlete, how long is the general recovery for such an injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
8 weeks: Most people are doing well by about 8 weeks. The nice thing about an isolated fracture of the transverse process is that the stability of the spine is not affected and so there are not set restrictions. The down side is that they can be quite painful.
