A member asked:
Hi,im niru and recently i've diagnosed with spondylolithesis l5/s1,,i just want to know how bad is my condition?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's quite common: and how "bad" it is depends entirely on your symptoms and the degree of spondylolisthesis. You should consult with the doctor who ordered the study to determine what treatment may be indicated. For almost any mechanical back pain, keeping up an exercise regimen (as tolerated) is important. Good luck!
