What does a Compression Fracture feel like?

My Ortho back Dr will be getting my CT Scan images and my MRI images tomorrow but I'm not holding my breath he will review them for a while. The guy is swamped as usual. I can't even get in to see him!
Editing my comment to add this question - if you went thru PT, did feel it was just too much at times? I'm overwhelmed with life and other health issues right now. PT is the last thing on my mind. I realize it can be good for me, I know it can be greatly beneficial. I am driving over 1 hour to visit this PT. I've know him for years and he is truly gifted. But between the drive time and the insane traffic, I'm exhausted when I get home. And being expected to do 30 reps of every exercise, OMG!! I can do it if I break it up a bit. But it's a lot! Thanks for letting me vent.

I did 2 PT sessions after my fracture and it helped tremendously! Each time she taught me 4 different exercises to do at home. Most are with resistance bands and a couple on floor. Started with 10 reps and worked my way up. I alternate and don’t do them all every day and it really does not take much time to do these exercises. I truly believe the exercise has been a crucial part of my recovery.

30 reps is a lot! Maybe you can find one nearer you. I never had more than 10 reps at the time, but some were twice a day. When it felt like too much or I was too sore, my PT said to skip a day to let the muscles rest.
