recently through x-rays found spondylolisthesis with L5...
haven't meet with an orthopedic yet but the openning is about 4 millimeters. the disk slipped last week (for the first time) and i am running on pain killers right now.
wondering about the right way to sleep? feeling like the pain is worse in the morning. might be due to collected spinal fuild (back expansion) during the night. however i would have hoped the back to feel better due to less pressure compaired to standing or sitting.
have read up a little bit on different non-surgery treatments. Williams is an old one but the basic idea is to lengthen the lumber curve (take pressure away). not sure i buy the theory but have also read that people place pillows under their legs at night (elevate the knees) and sleep on their backs. effectively lengthening the spine.
any medical evidence (imperial too) that this is a good idea?
