Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hi and welcome to HCM It seems slipping of l4 vertebra over l5 and fusion of l5 to sacrum is cause of your pain. Most of the times these resolve with conservative manage, physiotherapy exercises and steroid injection in the back. If problem is more and pressure over nerve roots occurs operative management might required. I do hope that you have found something helpful and informative and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
