Back Injured, Bilateral Parts Fractured. Unable To Sit, Stand, Severe Pain. Diagnosed Retrolisthesis. Solution?

I am 39 and not over weight. I injured my back in march moving vinyl. I had a bilateral pars fracture that required a 360 deg fusion of l5 s1, I felt like I was getting better other than the nerve pain in left butt. Then I took a turn for the worse. Can't sit or stand, sleep is often disturbed with extreem pain. I do not take any pills... I just had a ct scan and was diagnosed with retrolisthesis of l4 at l5 and I do have damage to the disc according to a prev. mri. Any sugestions as to how to deal with these problems, I am starting to get worn out with no sleep and pain!

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The clinical sign and symptoms are very important in deciding the further line of treatment, more over in your case the classification and grade of retrolisthesis are matter, if it is asymptomatic then you could manage it conservatively but if it is severe enough then it has to be treated accordingly, the over all management is depends upon your clinical condition, no need to take any haphazard step if it does not cause you much pain, have nice day.
