I have a much milder form of what you describe. I was told that the bilateral pars defect was a stress fracture that led to the slightly slipped discs. In my case, a PT thought my posture may have caused the pars defect and she taught me how to stand straighter. In your case,, perhaps it was the running. My pars defects are healing well as confirmed by x-ray. I hope this information helps!

Thanks. My posture has never been the best since I was a kid and my family used to always make fun of my S shape. I think subconsciously I tried to correct it over life via walking, running, etc. I could have created more damage. However, my mum reminded me of a significant incident that she thinks could have caused the issue - I think she is right. I fell out of a car and landed on my butt when I was 16/17 yrs old. I totally forgot that happened - so don’t ask why or how it happened :p
I’m not sure if my par defects can heal as the slippage seems too much to correct 16mm. My best bet is to be able to delay surgery if possible. I’ll see how I go with the passive treatment which includes posture correction.
