    As I understand, spondylolysis is genetic, making you suceptible to stress fractures in that region, dreamerzz. You could have overdone an activity and done some damage to the L5 and now you are suffering from a fracture. I suggest you visit your doctor so he may refer you to a specialist to assist you with this problem.
