yes i also had spinal stenosis and bulging disc. Alot of pressure was on my nerves.

I guess I'm confused. A spondylolisthesis is decompressive for the central canal as it actually creates more space that would significantly lessen potential effects of spinal stenosis and bulging disc. Due to the regional anatomy (Hoffman's ligaments, up/down phenomena of the IVF's, etc) the exiting nerve roots are actually at higher risk of involvment in a spondy so I guess I am confused that as to whether or not you surgically had a pedicle screw reduction of a pars defect (for the spondy) or simply a discectomy/fusion for the disc and stenosis?
