Degenerative Disc Disease
Degenerative disk disease is when normal changes that take place in the disks of your spine cause pain. Spinal disks are like shock absorbers between the vertebrae, or bones, of your spine. They help your back stay flexible, so you can bend and twist. As you get older, they can show signs of wear and tear. They begin to break down and may not work as well.
Symptoms of Degenerative Disc Disease include:
- Pain in the lower back, buttocks, or upper thighs.
- Pain that comes and goes. It could be a nagging pain or severe pain that lasts for days or even months.
- Pain that worsens when you sit but eases when you move or walk.
- Pain that feels better when you change position or lie down.
Treatment options for Degenerative Disc Disease:
-
Medication: which eases the pain and prevents further damage.
Physical Therapy: In most cases, physical therapy and pain medication are enough for long-term relief.
Steroid Shots: These have strong medications to ease pain, swelling, and inflammation.
