  1. Actually I need more history details about her age ! What was the treatment done by the surgeon? Had she a MRI ?I am suspecting a lumber disc lesion ..
    Can she move her legs? Even with pain?
    Also try sending the rest of the reports and prescriptions
    I am expecting your answer soon

  2. Hi
    The condition you are referring to is called spondylolisthesis , which honestly I do not see in the x ray, I recommend an MRI as I suspect disk protrusion at L5/S1
    Until then I advise wearing a back brace and staying on anti inflammatory next step will be physical therapy
    Good Luck

  3. hi,
    there is no displacement of any bones but she seems to be having a slipped disc at L4-5 level due to lifting heavy weight.
    Physiotherapy in the form of lumbar / leg traction,short wave diathermy,LASER therapy will help.
    She should avoid lifting heavy weight,avoid bending forward.
    Using lumbosacral belt for spine support and analgesic / pregabalin,methycobalamin tablets will be helpful.
    thanks

  4. I think you need to do MRI…
