Keep in mind your MRI is taken in a static lying down position. It does not capture functional movement compression of spinal cord and nerve roots with certain positions. Spondylolisthesis means you have a vertebrae slipping over another and this could cause instability of spine and pressure on spinal cord and nerve roots. My L4 was slipping over my L5 and causing me many symptoms (had severe spinal stenosis at this level).

that is very interesting. i did not know that. because the MRI wasn’t really showing much for the cause of all my symptoms the emg was more useful and the ANA and myositis panels being positive so doesn’t make much sense why they think it’s genetic when those were positivity results leaning towards autoimmune disease not genetic.
