Pain Increased After Spinal Fusion, MRI Shows Herniated, Bulging Discs. X-ray Shows Anterolisthesis. Solution?

I've had spinal fusion of the L5-S1 6 years ago after deployment to Iraq (spondylilothesis, sorry about spelling), since then pain is increasing and prior MRI shows herniated discs, bulging discs, (L2-3, L3-4) and recent Xrays shows Anterolisthesis of L5 on S1 and mild spurring at L2-L3 and L3-L4. No frank hardware failure
or loosening is noted.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I usually put my patient on conservative treatment, which included lumber support, some pain killer medicine, little counseling, if come such spinal problems like you have this gives much better result, and it could be long lasting too, I would love to advise you the same thing, have lumbosecral belt, with any analgesic drug, Diclophenic would be best, have nice day
