Fractures are of various types. difficult to decide here by your information. If there is no loss of power or sensation in your legs, no problem with urination or passing stools and a standing g x Ray shows stability, then you need to do gradually increasing physiotherapy and give around 4-6 weeks for it to heal and get better. I would suggest you to see a spine surgeon for evaluation and follow from there.
