Is it possible that congenitally fused L5-S1 is overloaded since they fused 4-5 and is now painful?

Hi There, I had bmp with my fusion, but due to previously being hypermobile L4-5 because of the congenital fusion L5-S1, I remain hypermobile and therefore will not fuse without more hardwear being inserted, and as everything is unstable, I have pain from the screws at the moment currently flaring up nerves and scar tissue etc.
Hopefully tightening the fusion area together will offer some relief at the bottom of my spine centrally,
Then its just all about finding some help for the adr and facet issue, this is causing a great deal more pain to me than the fusion issue, and the problem that concerns me the most at the moment.
