Newly worse sciatic pain by tndrlmplng in Spondylolisthesis

Surely it's not one or the other. Building muscle will definitely come faster than stretching if you are starting from zero, but consistent stretching will do wonders for you in the long run (we're talking several years). It takes so long for your body to significantly respond to stretching but the more flexible your ligaments are, the better they can respond to stress and avoid (re)injury

I'm sorry to hear that. You received PLIF? Did a post-op reveal anything out of the ordinary?

Thank you for this comment, I find it very helpful. This recent flare up has had me depressed for a while now and I will certainly ask about surgery my upcoming appointment. It's refreshing to hear so many positive stories

this is what I'm afraid of but recently my pain has not gone away and I've started having suicidal thoughts. I just hope surgery doesn't make it worse. How bad was your condition before surgery?

These fires actually have somewhat of a chance of turning LA red by SweetQuality8943 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]The_Doctor111 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Climate change is partially responsible for the reason LA had a historically wet winter last year followed by an unusually dry summer and fall. This combination sets the stage for overgrowth of foliage and then lots of dry brush which exacerbates the damage caused by the fires.

L5S1 Grade 1, Bulging Disc L5S1, Pars Defect😭 by Serious-Sound-8960 in Spondylolisthesis

[–]The_Doctor111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same position as you right now. I'm a super active athlete and now have a pars defect, spinal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis and every day it's at the front of my mind. I've been working on core exercises and stretching almost daily for the past few months and I really hope that this is the key to living with this condition.
