Question

Asked for Female, 24 Years

I've had spondylolysis for 4 years but in the last few weeks my back pain has increased a lot and I now have pain all down my left leg. Is it possible that is has become sppndylolysthesis? How do I know? Is there a way to determine this without medical imaging?
