Nineteen is really young to be saddled with kind of pain. I also fell due to a skiing accident. L1 compression fracture that resolved itself. The only things that helped me include a neurologist who spent a long time probing my pain. She came up with a cocktail of meds that were really helpful. A year later I had a spinal cord stimulator implanted. Along with the meds it helped me get my life back. At this point it might be helpful to see a neurologist. They are often able to diagnose nerve-relate issues. Make sure you can find one who is willing to spend the time necessary to fully analyze your issues. I wish you well.

@heisenberg34 I have seen a neurologist actually but I was hesitant to follow up with her because I honestly wasn't sure what else she could contribute, as all my blood work came back mostly normal. I'll definitely consider seeing her again, given what you said and the spinal cord stimulator sounds really interesting. I'm glad you have been able to get control of your life again and wishing you the best as well!
