Hello
MRI is showing old healed fracture of one of your back bone.
This causes tremendous pain in back and if nerve involvement is there leg pain too.
Normally in acute setting one needs rest for 2-3 weeks for fracture to get gummy.
Once it becomes gummy we ask patient to start moving around with supportive belt.
Usually fracture heals on its own in 2-3 months.
If even after 3 months fracture is not healing it can be manage with bone forming medicine.
Coming to your second question
Yes permanant treatment in the form of intervention like surgery are available to know more please consult a spine specialist near you.
Next Steps
Please consult a spine specialist to know more
Health Tips
Avoid sitting long time, use back brace.
