Depends on the healing process and condition of vertebral bones.

Detailed Answer:
Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I will take care all of your medical concerns.

Our vertebral bones are holding in between their holes our spinal cord and the spinal nerves are coming out from the foramina(holes) through the vertebra.

If due to some reason these vertebrae are crushed, collapsed, or discs in between two vertebrae is displaced (herniated) the nerves pinched in between and cause pain in areas of their respective supply.

Recovery depends on the disease process, reason of the disease and collapse factors, mineral bone density of the vertebrae, and a lot more factors.

IN your case your bones must have been a victim of osteoporosis as the age advances it happens in females. So, there is no defined period of pain persistence. Some women bear it for the rest of life, some get better with passage of time.

You can get benefits after consultation with an from office visit to a Neurosurgeon.

Have a wonderful time ahead. Hope I answered all of your questions. Let me know if you have any further clinical concerns. I will be happy to get back to you shortly. If satisfied here, please give a five star rating and don't forget to close the discussion.
