  5. My husband has been dealing with severe back pain for over a year now. His MRI and X-ray showed a gap between the L4 and L5 joints. Hes been doing regular exercises and swimming, but the pain gets really bad at times. Weve consulted doctors before but havent found a permanent solution. What can we do to address this?
