First flare up in many years

I was first diagnosed with spondylolysis when I was 15, sadly the bracing and PT didn’t heal it and it progressed to listhesis. The PT definitely helped a lot though, and then when I got to college I picked up jogging/interval running and my back felt like new for a long time. Almost forgot I had it. This week after a long car trip, I’m having spasms much like that first summer when I couldn’t get out of bed nearly 12 years ago, and it’s the first time I’ve had this kind of pain in at least 7. Is this common?
