I just got an mri on my lower back because I hurt it at work. I was thinking it was a slipped disk and on the mri it showed no slipped disk.  it did show I have bilateral spodylolysis at the L5-S1 level with minor anterolisthesis  and mild foraminal effacement bilaterally at the L3-4 and L4-5 level.  im still in a lot of pain and dont know what else to do L&I wants to close my claim now
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Your MRI spine findings can explain your symptoms of low back pain, and pain radiating to legs. Initial treatment consists of bed rest, physiotherapy and medications. Medications likely to be helpful for you would include pregabalin or gabapentin. Physiotherapy measures that could help you are IT/ultrasound/traction, etc. If these do not help, epidural injections can be given. In about 10% of cases, surgery may be required. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/
