Hello, I have studied your case and I want to tell you that if there is no pain in the spine then you can continue to work a there will not be any problem. In three weeks time this fracture is completely healed. If you have any doubt then you can get a repeat x ray to check the condition of the fracture. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. thanks
