It sounds like it might be spondylolisthesis, which would be descriptive of the L5-S1 joint; where as anterolisthesis refers to a subluxation of one vertebral body upon another would be stated as "there is anterolisthesis of L5 on S1"

CC: Back pain
Subject: CC: Back pain

Thanks for taking the time on this . . .

While the CC: is back pain, the subjective describes . . .

This is an 81-year-old female who, for the last month, has had some intermittent pain next to her right shoulder blade. She is right-handed, and she has been doing a lot of gardening and weed whacking. It does not bother her much during the day, but at night when she sits, and then when she is lying in bed at night, she feels what she describes as a muscle spasm with twinges. She also at times has some diffuse pain from her elbow radiating up to her neck when she “overdoes it”, but that has been going on for quite some time, and she does not feel like that has recently changed.
thanks, I thought of that and went back
Subject: thanks, I thought of that and went back

and listened again, but he is definitely saying AS or AZ-vair, or something like that. To complicate matters, I'm having problems with the tape not playing correctly in that spot..it keeps stopping and slowing down,etc. I think the tape is just bad.

Subject: it is just that she has low back pain..sm

Since that time, she has had increasing low back pain.  She did do the s/l-Ergosco-  method.  She had no relief.  She did have an injection to her SI joint region, which had a terrible reaction.  Since that time, she has had low back pain.
