Fracture in Spine L5 and S 1,2
Hello I got injured in June 2019 due to falling from stairs. My backbone got fractured in bone L 5 and s1. It has taken six months to recover completely. After six months my xray was normal and Doctor has sad, I have no problem in bones now, I am fully recovered. My question is still I am getting pain in my left side waist which increases and goes till my things, knee and lower part of leg. I feel severe pain in those area. It's not regular thing. I am getting pain sometime only, you can say 4 to 5 times in a month. My question is what should I do. How to recover from this pain? And why I am getting pain after recovery? Please help me with some remedies. My xray is normal now.

There is a possibility of nerve compression / disc prolapse following fracture last year. The fractured bone might have united completely but nerve compression might be still there... which may be causing this pain and radiculopathy..
Next Steps
You should get MRI of lumbosacral spine to get a better idea of the condition..
Health Tips
Use LS belt for support..  Hot fomentation,  Analgesic tablet, local analgesic ointment can help relieving pain for now..
