Followup: Compression fractures usually heal over a 8-12 week period but can cause pain up through about 6 months. Physical therapy is not an intervention used commonly to treat fracture pain, which is usually activity related. You may either have to give it more time or arrange followup to make sure pain us not coming from something else. We also can do kyphoplasty for persistent pain from vcf.
