General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience with tingling sensations on your left hand following a diagnosis of spondylolisthesis I will suggest strongly that you have a peripheral neuropathy and this is not related to the spondylolisthesis rather largely due to a condition called cervical spondylitis

In view of this please do an x-ray of the neck and schedule an appointment with an orthopaedic specialist for expert clinical assessment and adequate drug prescription

Meanwhile please take the following pending your appointment
Tablet lyrica neurobion gabapentin thiamine

I hope this helps Regards
