Check out Rolfing here on YouTube. It's a form of massage that will heal you. When you do this, get someone certified and experienced. Amazing!

@ jbarkee That's similar to me. I've had pain from my spondythesis since i was 15 and I'm now 20 and just got diagnosed. I just thought the pain was from working too hard or skateboarding too hard, but now it hurts from washing dishes and doing house chores. The doc says its a grade 2/3 slippage. He said surgery doesn't always work and it is a last resort so I'm just gonna take it easy and do exercises for it.

I was diagnosed at age 11, - I am now 43, and it's just now bothering me. It's a grade 3, and I still won't consider surgery at this point bc it's not that bad. I've run marathons and been active, but now I will concentrate on core building like Pilates to see if that helps.

@miraclebob6 Thanks for your story...I appreciate your experience.

@miraclebob6 5 yrs ago, at about your age, I was at Grade I. At that level of slippage there were no symptoms or pain...only reason they spotted it was during an XRay of a hematoma of my oblique obtained during a rugby match. This time around and after 5 more years of rugby and weightlifting, it appears to be at about 50% slippage so borderline Grade 2/3. I have seen a doc who recommends no rugby for now and will be seeing a surgeon in 2 weeks for his final opinion. Hoping for a brace + rest.

@pepto21 Yes as time increases so does the risk! With spondylolisthesis the vertebrae is the part that is slipping due to the fracture in the bone that is supporting it. The doctor said if i waited on the surgery, it was more apt to slip out of place as the muscles could not hold it in place forever. From what I can see it could be anytime when your vertebrae slips so far forward as to inhibit permanent/long term damage. See a doctor and tell me what he says. Yours may be slightly different?

@miraclebob6 Thanks for some details...

Did the doctor ever say that your spinal cord was suceptible to damage because of the sponylolisis/thesis? I also feel as though I can and have pushed forward through games, even with the stress fracture, but would be worried if I was at an increased risk for spinal cord damage due to the disk slippage and fracture.

It got to the point i could only try playing soccer once or twice a week before resting extensively. I figured i would battle through it. but it was getting worse. I broke both sides of L5 vertebrae during last year of soccer. The doctor said it could have been because of a birth defect but he said it would NEVER heal on its own. I got the surgery a month ago and I am still unable to bend, lift, twist for 2 and half months. he said i will not be doing extensive contact sports
