Is There Any Risk Involved In Taking Flight Having A Broken Bone In Back?

Hi 10 days a go, in Spain I jumped off some rocks into the sea, the impact caused me to break a bone in my back however I did not no this until yesterday when I had X-rays. Since the accident I ve flew home, been swimming, walking around etc just thinking i d bruised my ribs, now I m in a predicament as the doctor says I can t fly and I m due to go to France in two days it s only an hour and 30 minute flight for me. What would be the dangers for me to fly?
