How long will the pain continue
Brief Answer:
Acute pain subsides in 7-10 days.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in crushed vertebrae is felt whenever there is a movement near the fractured area. Absolute bed rest is the only way to avoid the pain. This pain can continue till the fracture is healed- may take 6-8 weeks. The acute pain subsides in a week.
You need to increase your intake of calcium and Vitamin D rich diet to have an earlier healing. Lesser the movement around the fractured fragments earlier will be the healing.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
To make your fractured vertebrae heal faster, dietary modifications and some lifestyle changes do play an important role.
1. You need to abstain from alcohol and smoking, avoid caffeine - tea, coffee, colas. Take calcium and vitamin D3 supplements as prescribed by your orthopedician.
2. You need to give adequate rest and immobilization of the affected part for a faster healing. Constant movement causes mild displacement of fractured fragments thus delaying the healing.
3. The foods you need to take include yogurt, milk, dry fruits- dates & almonds, apples, soybean, broccoli, red grapes, peanuts, oatmeal and sesame seeds.
4. Lysine, Boron, Zinc, Vitamin C and Vitamin K supplements do also play a major role in bone healing along with calcium and Vitamin D3. You can add a multimineral supplement to your daily routine.
