Hi Mary! If you have had a scan of spine done and your doctor has disclosed these findings, chances are you may require surgery to correct as you aren't responding to conservative treatment. Even then, seek another spine/orthopedics doctors opinion and a physical therapist for another opinion. If conservative treatment not taken correctly viz, wearing lumbar sacral brace, back muscle strengthening exercise, adequate pelvic traction or bed rest and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. .if you've done all this, ANC no relief and now incapacitated for routine chores, then surgery may well offer a good remedy and maybe advocatedThanksBest wishes
