Report

I had undergone physiotherapy several times but there is no relief. I have MRI report says double level lumbar and torso-lumbar advanced scoliosis's alignment of the examined range of the vertebrae included. Spasm of the back muscles. Left lateral and minimal anterior slippage of the body of L.V.3 over that of L.V.4 secondary to fracture existing pars of L.V.3.Another first-degree spondylolisthesis is seen between L.V.5-S.V.1 secondary to pars fracture of L.V.5..Significant advanced spondylo-degenerative Mr. changes of are seen along the examined vertebral range. Multiple posterior endplates osteophytes and posterior discs bulges are seen across the examined disc spaces minimally effecting the corresponding nerve root sleeves on either side. Associated facet osteoarthritis seen between L.V.3 - S.V.1 on both sides. I think there is no escape without undergoing surgery but I don't want surgery. I am now 70 years old and now I need doctor's advice whether can I continue with same status for the rest of the years of my life, otherwise what should I do to maintain good health.
