I'm really concerned about what they found in my X-ray. It mentions something about bilateral sacralization of L5. The report says the pedicles, interpedicular distances, spinous and transverse processes are normal, and the intervertebral disc spaces aren't reduced. Can you help me understand if this is something I should be worried about?

My sister recently finished physiotherapy and quad strengthening exercises, but she still struggles with a lot of knee pain due to chondromalacia. We've noticed it gets better with icing and rest, but it's tough since she really loves dancing and doesn't want to quit. Is it okay for her to try Zumba or aerobics, or would that just make things worse? Any advice would be really helpful.
