Question by Haiduc: I had x rays and mri…but my spondololythesis won’t show up !?
What is the best test to check for spondolythesis? CT SCAN should tell me if i have it? I have lower right back pain, tender in the center of the back, and billateral mild sciatica…..MRI won’t show anything but im almost sure that i have spondo because the night before the symptoms i did backward stretching too much.

Spondylolisthesis describes misalignment of the vertebrae relative to one another. If you have it, it WILL show up on MRI. If you have already had a normal MRI, then you do not have spondylolisthesis.
