A member asked:
In 2010 i had a back injury with no degenerative disease. can that be the cause of retrolisthesis? neck x-ray, 2011, negative results
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Soft tissue injuries: Chronic widespread pain in neck, low back, and arm might be a manifestation of fibromyalgia. Retrolithesis as result of an acute mechanical injury to the low back or neck is unusual, and if it occurred would be exceedingly painful and potentially surgical. One interpretation of these signs and symptoms is chronic muscle spasms. Retrolithesis can often be asymptomatic and a "red herring".
