Your description sounds like you suffer from an isthmic spondylolisthesis (“my L5 is giving me all the pain it has moved 12 centimeters”). I understand the surgeons reluctance to operate when you are taking high doses of narcotic but if you have this diagnosis, an operation could very well be indicated. If you so desire, you could send your films to me and I can comment on them. Use the toll free 888 number (it works in some countries but not in others) or call the office directly at (970) 476-1100 (USA) to gain the shipping information.
