Answer 1

Degenerative spondylolisthesis or degenerative spondylosis? By the way, S1/S2 refers to the 1st and 2nd vertebrae of your sacral spine (pelvic region) and L1/L4/L5 refers to the vertebrae of your lumbar spine (lower back).

Answer 2

The term is Degenerative Spondylolisthesis. It most commonly occurs at L4. It may not have been caught on xray prior b/c you need a specific view to see it. It does not necessarily cause pain, but those that suffer pain typically suffer more severely.

My question would be have you even had a serious fall, or were you a gymnast as a kid (they suffer from these due to continual low back extension). It could be that you suffered a serious injury, fractured the area, and it is just now being picked up. Would be very tough to determine if it is in fact work related?

You need someone in your corner to help you out. Worker comp is insurance and they are in the business of making money.

Perhaps get a second opinion.

Answer 3

Spondylosis Degeneration
Spondylosis (spinal osteoarthritis) is a degenerative disorder that may cause loss of normal spinal structure and function. Although aging is the primary cause, the location and rate of degeneration is individual. The degenerative process may impact the cervical, thoracic, and/or lumbar regions of the spine affecting the intervertebral discs and facet joints.

Answer 4

There are multiple listings similar to your spellings here

but many of your words are NOT regular, like conjective when I think you mean congenital . . . your case sounds complicated so you really should contact a workers comp attorney (listed in the yellow pages).
But make sure your doctor documents the issue about the fall at work ( & different radiologist read MRI different)

Answer 5

Do you mean spondylolithsesis?

It can be degenerative either naturally or because of an injury. Workers' comp will always to everything that they can to deny awards. See a lawyer for help with your claim.

Answer 6

Spondylosis

Answer 7

first of all im sorry to hear about your condition. you will need to get a lawyer to fight this case for you it is a condition that is present previous to an injury but injury hastens it in its progression. my dad just finished a workmens comp claim with this same exact disease last year. just last month he got approved for permanent disability. good luck i hope all goes well.
