Yes, it is possible. If no symptoms, don't worry. Be under supervision of a spine surgeon.

Yes, it is possible for a spondylolisthesis seen on an x-ray to be unstable, even in the absence of back or leg pain. This is because the degree of instability is not always correlated with the degree of symptoms. In some cases, the vertebrae can move slightly during flexion and extension without causing any pain or other symptoms. However, it is important to monitor the condition over time to make sure that it does not worsen and cause more significant problems in the future. Your doctor may recommend follow-up imaging or other tests to monitor the stability of the spondylolisthesis.
