Spondylolisthesis pain in right leg.

Spondylolisthesis in elderly individuals can indeed cause back pain, hip pain, and leg pain, often due to nerve compression. While surgery is not always the first option, especially in older adults, there are non-surgical treatments available that can help manage her symptoms. Pain relievers like NSAIDs (if there are no contraindication) • Neuropathic pain medicines if nerve pain is prominent. Targeted exercises to strengthen the core and back muscles, which can help stabilize the spine and reduce pressure on nerves. • Stretching exercises to relieve tension in the surrounding muscles. Epidural Steroid Injections: These can reduce inflammation around the affected nerves, providing temporary relief from pain. Lifestyle Modifications: • Avoiding heavy lifting, prolonged standing, or activities that worsen her symptoms. • Using supportive aids, such as a walker or brace, to improve mobility and reduce strain. • Heat or cold therapy for symptomatic relief. • TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) for pain modulation.
