it is possible you had a compression fracture it takes about 12 wks to heal but usually after 6 wks the pain gets better. they can tell by xrays usually definitely a cat scan. it just amazes me how little some drs know. my dr said i had a pulled muscle from coughing from a cold WRONG it was a double compression fracture

it's so kind of you to explain it to me @proliamistake. I checked with my cardiologist at the time to rule out heart related problem but never thought that it might be spine related, hence never communicated this with my op treating physician. will definitely ask her opinion if imaging study is needed one and a half year after the incident

Happy Thanksgiving!
