From my experience, it hurts on the side it broke on mostly. The transverse process are the wings that stick out from the vertebre. These are the spots on the spine where muscles and other tissue connect. Standing and sitting still seems to keep the pain at bay. Movement on the other hand causes sharp pains to shoot from the spot down my spine. Laying seems to cause major discomfort. I'm not a doctor, just someone who recent had a transverse process fracture. Hope this helps you out.

Pain managment. I broke my L2-4 transverse processes and that all they did for me. 2yrs later I am still having issues with my back. I've gone for injections with little comfort. Next step is an appointment with the surgeon.
Processus transverse
The transverse process functions as the site of attachment for muscles and ligaments of the spine as well as the point of articulation of the ribs
The spinous processes and transverse processes in the vertebrae provide levers against which muscles pull in the vertebral column. Muscles attached to these processes, such as the erector spinae group, create movements like extension, flexion, and rotation in the spine.

The typical type of vertebrae containing foramina in the transverse process are cervical vertebrae. These foramina are called transverse foramina, and they allow for the passage of the vertebral artery and vein in the cervical spine.
