Hello,
Thanks for the details provided.
-As you have developed a new anterior listhesis of L4 over L5 you have to meet your doctor for the correction.
-Apart from the above condition you even have a worsened stenosis which may be the reason for your leg pain.The exiting nerve root compression.
-This has developed due to the post surgical removal of your implants.
You have no choice other than consulting your doctor and getting things corrected.
Thank You
