Hey Ado!
You're screwed!

No, I'm sure it'll be fine.
I've got Spondilolithisis of my L5/S1, with a slip as well as an unhealed fracture (pars defect)
It started playing up for me when I got to the UK. Heck! I moved there to get good! Not to gain 15kgs and find it difficult to stand up/lay down (and like you, I cannot sit up right. I've taken to the sitting in bed pose quite well though.) Not bad for a 21year old :D

It's taken me almost a year and a half to get my core strength back to almost as good as it was, and pain has decreased(with about 10kgs lost), but I also have impinged hips, both left and right. My left hasn't stopped paining, so now with my OZ physician, she suspects a tear in my hip ligament (which wasn't investigated in the UK)

I've been told by a Physio, Osteopath and Orthopeadic Surgeon, I can never afford to become 'unfit' - Sh*t.

I find it incredibly difficult to climb anything steep/overhanging, and because I can't trust my legs, slopy things - which I must say regretably, I didn't get on very well with grit :(

The best relief for me is deep tissue massage and gentle resistant and training a good stretch! I'm thinking of doing pilates now I'm more stable.

Haha, It's good to know I'm not the only one suffering.

So I am also very interested if anyone has any tips or strategies!
