Two days ago, I fell down the stairs at my house and landed in a seated position. The pain was immediate, severe, and unbearable. I was taken to a doctor, where they performed an MRI and X-rays, which apparently showed lumbar fractures at L1 and L2.

For treatment, I have been advised to rest, take pain medication, and wear a brace day and night for two months. I am still experiencing pain. I am worried that the consequences might be irreversible.

I am attaching MRI images—what is your prognosis? What do you think I have?
