Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi you have Fracture L2 and are on bed rest and pain killers due to this. In my practice , if the fracture is not severe and there is no involvement of nerves , I mobilize the patient ASAP with taylor's brace and painkillers. Also if patients age is on upper side , I get bone densitometry and start treatment for associated osteoporosis. If the fracture is unstable then I proceed to fix it.
