There could be muscle wasting due to the fracture. This could be the cause of your pain. Please do back strengthening exercises.

Hi At your age, a compression fracture is not usually seen. If you are experiencing low backache again, try the following: *Stop jogging and playing badminton for a few days *Apply hot water bag 10 minutes twice a day *After applying hot water bag, apply Nobel Gel *Tab Flexon (1 tablet after lunch and 1 tablet after dinner for 5 days) (if you are not allergic to it) *Tab Pantakind (1 tablet before breakfast in the morning for 5 days) *Do Bhujangasana (start with 5 counts per day and slowly increase the number of counts till you reach 40 counts per day) *Avoid sitting on a stool/chair for more than 15 minutes at a stretch. After every 15 minutes, get up for 1 minute and then sit back again. *Whenever you sit on a stool/chair sit ahead...you will automatically sit straight. Don't sit back and try to get back support. You will involuntarily bend your spine and increase your back problem. *Avoid sitting on soft sofas. *Avoid riding bike/car for a few days. *Avoid bending forward with your knees straight. Bend your knees and then bend forward.
