The time to pain relief after a lumbar fracture is not fixed; most patients complain of their pain relief in about 2 weeks, but this time will certainly vary slightly for each person with different pain tolerance levels, different treatment options chosen, and different ages. Most patients with this type of trauma refer to the 48-72 hour time period as the acute phase, which is when the pain is at its worst. In the case of adolescents, who are physically fit and less sensitive to pain, the pain will be significantly relieved after the acute phase. If the patient is female and is weak and cannot tolerate it, the pain often lasts for a long time, but this type of patient will also be relieved in about 2 weeks. In contrast, some middle-aged and elderly people may have osteoporosis themselves, and with a weak constitution or many underlying physical diseases, the pain may persist.
