Degenerative Disc Disease. Degenerative disc disease weakens one or more of your vertebral discs. Your discs normally act as a cushion between the vertebrae. Degenerative disc disease can develop as a natural part of the aging process, but it may also result from injury to your back.
Degenerative Disc Disease can affect any of your discs, but most often occurs in the neck and lower back. For most people Degenerative Disc Disease causes no painful symptoms, but for some a degenerated disc can cause constant, severe chronic pain. With symptomatic Degenerative Disc Disease, chronic lower back pain sometimes radiates to the hips or causes pain in the buttocks or thighs while walking. You may feel sporadic tingling or weakness through the knees.
