Have you had an MRI confirmation of the L1 fracture.
If so this new pain you are having is unlikely to be related to your fracture.
It is probably arising from the lower lumbar spine posterior elements, probably facet joints.
Next Steps
stay active
take simple pain killers
this should resolve in few days
Health Tips
if pain persists and if you develop radiating pain consult a doctor

You must get a MRI done to confirm that the fracture has United or not. X-ray is not sufficient to decide union. In a fracture there is not just a bony injury but a significant soft tissue component as well . So after periods of prolonged inactivity/rest,you will have stiffnnes. it will take you a good amount of time to return to full physical activity with physiotherapy. Don't rush it and good luck
