'When you stand up you are in alignment and after a few steps the vertebra slips forward.'

That makes more sense than 99% of what doctors and P.T.s have said to me over many years!
I can't stand, and of course, walk very much without some sort of help for more than a few minutes. Sitting is my relief,

Hello, @gently and @mermaid7272,
That sounds exactly like stenosis to me. My lumbar surgery was in 2022 to correct stenosis, spondelosesthesis, arthritis, and bone spurs, and was completely successful. Long and complicated procedure but it was at a teaching hospital/university with a superb staff.
To all who are suffering and seeking answers, don't lose hope! Keep becoming informed and getting second opinions.
