Question

Asked for Male, 31 Years

Hi I have a lower back pain from past 3 years , no idea why it started, I went to orthopedic doctor and he suggested to take MRI and the report says,  "Bilateral spondylolysis with grade I anterolisthesis of L5 over S1 vertebral body.  Posterior annular tear and posterior disc herniation at this level causing significant narrowing of bilateral neural foramina and compression of bilateral exiting nerve roots(R>L)."
