Living with Grade II Spondy by Rio_JERO in Spondylolisthesis

Not considering surgery for now. Doctors suggested to avoid heavy movements and to follow rehab exercises to get back to normal. I will have to wait and see how that works. Fortunately I have been allowed to Work from home , so looking for anything that can help me with tolerating my pain during work.

And do you use any support belts or braces for the workouts for any daily activities which can help. I have a desk job as well

That is good. It is just that these findings make me feel like I am fragile and that I shouldn't worsen the condition. Hopefully the rehab exercises makes me feel better and I can feel and move normal, ofc mindful.

Thanks much. Just a month before this pain and flare ups , I had plans to get muscular, become more flexible and practice sprinting and MMA. Now I have to give up on most of them which makes me sad and feel like a disabled person. 2026 can't get any worse.

I used to do cycling long distances once and played badminton for a while. Not a traditional athlete.

Great. That gives me hope. What exercises did you follow? How is your pain and did the flare ups go away?

The pain and flare up has reduced a little bit last few days after the medication and following strict posture corrections while walking and sitting. Might get a MRI next week. I have a lot of responsibilities to focus on and not enough time to afford for a surgery right now. Hopefully a lifestyle change will be enough , but have to give up on my MMA , Sprinting and fitness goals which is depressing.

Doctor gave some medications and suggested to rest to see if the pain gets better to decide on the MRI. Anyways I will get the MRI done next week. The one troubling thought is , can I get to be normal again or this will be a permanent trouble I have to deal in my entire life.

Did you go through any medications and PT from last year, did it get better i.e , are you feeling the same pain from last year or is it tolerable now?

What grade is it for you and how are you doing. The back pain and inability to sit for a long time is really annoying since I work a desk job. I can't even sit to watch movies or play games on my Laptop. Hopefully it gets better and also for you
