Hello !!! I can understand the pain you have. Yes, the radiation of cramps to your calf region is because of spondylolisthesis. What i can make out that it is probably claudication. Grade 2 in on the verge of deciding whether to operate or not. Do the following : 1. You must wear a lumbar brace as of now (if you are not wearing already) 2. Get your xrays of lumbar spine done in flexion and extension view to see if the listhesis is stable or mobile. - If mobile .... We need to fix it 3. MRI of lumbar spine with spinogram to see if there is some cord compression by the disc. - if yes - we need to decompress as well
