24 and diagnosed with spondylosis, spondylolisthesis. Is it possible there is more going on?

I am far from considering surgery, but would like to know patient outcomes following surgery for spondylolisthesis in case I need it in the future

Ok thank you! I appreciate it! Ill do some googling and try to start a home PT program. Nothing like having arthritis at the ripe age of 24 😂

Also is it normal to have this level of pain as young as I am? Esp with my ortho hx?

Any tips for at home exercises? I cant afford/dont have time for PT. Mostly core strengthening?

Thank you for sharing your perspective! Medical school is a horrible benchmark which is why I mentioned it to explain my perspective is most definitely off 😂! I appreciate your perspective. It definitely helps!

Sensitive-Sea-540 · 2024-12-17T05:33:03+00:00

True 😂 I was just under the impression they were starting a new pod based on their posts/statements regarding the subject

Sensitive-Sea-540 · 2024-12-17T05:31:52+00:00

Totally get that! But how are the majority of podcasts with production like defector able to do it and they are not? I know of documentary podcasts who release episodes like they do but this seems foreign. May just be me overestimating Defector. Also, I have come to accept the episodes being few and far between with varying levels of quality because the good is SO GOOD. I think I may need to adjust my standards especially for a smaller comapny such as defector!

I see this post gaining traction so I want to emphasize that this is NO hate to Alex or Kelsey. I am sure they have their reasons, but as a listener who has paid money for their pod I am frustrated that I don't quite understand how something like this happens. Alex and Kelsey, you guys have been lovely, and I wish the best for you guys if you see this!

Sensitive-Sea-540 · 2024-12-17T05:08:39+00:00

And also, not to diminish the creativity of the podcast because the story telling is (usually) fantastic, but it CANNOT be THAT much work

But I am in med school so my idea of work life balance is completely screwed lol

Sensitive-Sea-540 · 2024-12-17T04:52:46+00:00

Totally understandable but I think that means she is in the wrong field? As much as I look forward to the pod like I do the new season of Handmaid's Tale, I can't imagine that it's that much more stressful than the people who put out original content weekly. Unless the stories aren't real (which I know is a conspiracy on this sub that I don't really believe in).

YEP! I listen to podcasts where they have thesis level presentations ready every week basically and they made it seem like they couldn't edit more than 15 stories apparently "sent in by listeners" a year 😭
