[|Human|] Hi i twisted my back in the tub and have chronic pain in the lower back, now im havin problems walking long periods of time and 25stairs. X ray findings- There is a grade 1 anterior subluxation of L5 on S1 with bilateral facet hypertrophoy at this level. There is minimal spondylosis in the lumbar spine which is otherwise unremarkable. My Mri was said to be normal.
[|AI|]  Hias x-ray suggests, L1 slipped in front of S1, it could be recent or maybe a condition present idiopathically called spondylolisthesis since many years and hurting or trivial falls/twisting can disarrange soft tissue ligaments causing pain to persist.hypertrophic facets are of long duration. It becomes significant if nerve pain radiates down to legs or thighs, which is not in your case. Back muscle strengthening exercises, avoiding bending and lifting weights, wearing a lumbosacral brace for support during day, hot fomentation, application of muscle relaxant gel/cream locally may be helpful Best wishes
