Is the pain only in the night or it occurs any time of the day? Is there any swelling over feet also?
Please start with massage for calf muscles and vitamin D + B12 supplements. Also vitamin E supplement. You need an orthopaedic consultation.

Hi,
This is due to vitamin d and b12 deficiencies. And the sooner you get your vitamin injections the quicker it will go away.

Hello
Yes sometimes symptoms might aggravate after physiotherapy on Spondylolisthesis.
I suggest you place a pillow below your knees when sleeping.
Muscle relaxant medications like Myoril might be helpful in relieving the pain and stiffness.
Health Tips
Kindly get a mri spine done
