@sammymatt If there is instability at L5S1, it may become a surgical issue. I know you mentioned an injection, but that won't fix anything. Walking in the pool sounds like a good approach since that will take weight off because of the buoyancy. This is a lot for a young person to handle. I know that my spine surgeon at Mayo, Jeremy Fogelson, had a similar surgical case of a young guy who was a swimmer and developed instability at L5S1. It was a subject of an article.

I keep getting told so many different things of different Drs and physio, im praying the spinal team at Manchester are going to be the ones that help us, we're just waiting to hear from them for our appointment.
Im also thinking he could possibly need Surgery, hes got pain everyday to deal with, this is why ive been asking about the injections to get him some ease while we wait, but dont think it will happen..
He is dealing with alot, it worrys me cause its going to have an impact on his mental health.
Praying we hear from Spinal soon 🙏
Thankyou
