Spondylolisthesis and disc protrusion

hey guys,

This is one of the toughest cases i've come across in my clinicals.. plz help !!
The patient a 55 year old male has an anterolisthesis of L5 over Sacrum ( GRADE I) and Disc protrusion at L3-4 . Patient is also a Bronchitis patient.

The patient presents with buttock pain left sided with radiating pain down the whole lower limb. i've not assessed him completely for muscle strength, sensation.. etc.. Pain increases on sitting and walking short distances. Also dyspnoea on exertion.

I'm sooooooo confused wat to do.. give flexion exercises or extension exercises.. traction or mobilization.. god plz help..

Thanks a lot..
