I'm guessing it's a pretty individual thing even though I guess there is a supposedly predictable time frame given to people re healing of certain types of fractures.

Do you have long to wait to see your doctor again like several months (return in 3 months, 6 months) re answering any question you might have or perhaps by the time you're seen again you will be feeling better if not already.

My father was terribly uncomfortable when he had his compression fracture as he had severe kyphois and a very prominent boney curvature of his spine. He was weighing about 114 as the pain left him too uncomfortable to sit to eat and he couldn't stand look to fix himself meals (had meals on wheels once/day 3x/week). Very old school.. wouldn't eat anywhere but at the table at which he could hardly sit. I came to visit him and spent 4 months that year here I think and of course he got better just because someone was here doing the cooking and taking care of everything for him.

Sorry to digress and hope you'll soon feel better~
