Looks like Grade 2 listhesis rather than 1, though an XRay would be better.
It does appear that you require a surgical intervention on the face of it.
But I would still recommend a consult for better evaluation.

For pain you may have to take medication like pregablin, Gabapentin, duloxetine etc.. but dat can be given only under medical supervision. Be on follow-up of your treating doctor.
