AnswerHello Lynet,
I am sorry to hear of your pain.
I am sorry to hear of your condition.
Some people have anterolisthesis without any pain or problem. Some people have terrible pain.
You MUST maintain good posture, move with good biomechanics. Perhaps a lumbar corset, or a lumbar orthopedic support belt would be helpful to you.
You should see a local Doctor of Chiropractic. If there are no DCs ( Chiropractic Doctors) near you (I believe the question says you live in Poland (my Grandmothers home - Nana and Papa) ), many Medical doctors in Europe practice 'manual medicine'. Find an MD - a medical doctor who manipulates the spine.
Certain maneuvers in chiropractic would probably be helpful for you- S.O.T. technique, Cox Distraction technique; these are usually helpful with anterolisthesis. I do not know what the MD would term these techniques.
You state: "....Please can you tel me is there treatment for Grade 1 anterolisthesis ....",
yes various Chiropractic spinal manipulative techniques- I suggest SOT and or COX flexion/ distraction.
".....Please can you tel me is there treatment for Grade 1 anterolisthesis of L5 on S1.The L5/S1 disk space is narrowed,on the AP view there is prominent sclerosis noted to the L5 par......",
the sclerosis is a bones reaction to additional stress--- see the chiropractor!
".....Tubal ligation clips are noted in the pelvis....."- this should not be significant.
