My doctor sent me for an x-ray of the lower back. The results are Grade 1 retolisthesis of L3 on L4 without definite spondylolysis. There is mild disc space narrowing at L1-L2 with disc spaces otherwise appearing normal. There are small, osteophytic spurs projecting anteriorly from L1 through L3.
The doctor pretty much told me I have arthritis and told me not to worry about it. My main concern is I am a certified Nursing Assistant and am wondering what the long term outcome will be if I continue this line of work. Oh and the report also said I had mild atheroscierotic change of the aorta. He shrugged that off as well.
