My mom is 44 and has had lower back and leg pain for 12-15 years but still manages her daily work. We've seen multiple doctors and one mentioned possible nerve compression or spondylolisthesis based on her X-ray, suggesting spine infusion surgery. Since it's minimally invasive but she's still young, I'm worried is surgery really necessary or are there other treatments we can try? We're planning an MRI but unsure about the next steps
