What Is Degenerative Disc Disease?
With degenerative disc disease (DDD), a person will have some degree of an underlying chronic neck or low back pain, combined with intermittent episodes of intensified pain. It is one of the most common causes of neck and back pain and can arise from a damaged disc in the spine, deterioration of the spinal joints themselves, or from the narrowing of the spaces within the spine.
Do You Have Degenerative Disc Disease?
People who suffer from this condition will share a set of common symptoms including:
- Activity-related pain that flares up then recedes
- Severe back and neck pain episodes that last for a few days to few months and then return to your normal baseline of pain
- Pain is worsened by bending, twisting, and lifting
- Pain is lessened from frequently changing positions
- Walking and running may feel better than prolonged sitting for those with lumbar DDD
