@gravity3 as you know you can google all of these terms (@gently and I did) but without knowing your symptoms it is hard to interpret and that is for your doctor and you. Superficially both @gently and I thought things didn't look too bad but that does not hold if you are in pain and since you had the x-ray, I assume you are.

I am wearing a soft back brace that velcros, today, at this moment. I lifted too much yesterday and should have worn it then. Maybe that would help you! I like Biofreeze and capsaicin patches, and see a PT for massage. Tai chi helps too.
