What You Need to Know About Degenerative Disc Disease

Degenerative disc disease is a common age-related condition that affects the discs, which act as cushions between the vertebrae in your spine.  As we age, these discs can lose hydration, elasticity, and height, leading to a variety of symptoms.  While the term "degenerative" suggests a progressive worsening, the pain associated with DDD can be managed effectively in many cases.  It's important to understand that DDD doesn't always cause pain.  Many people have disc degeneration without experiencing any symptoms at all.

Recognizing Symptoms of Degenerative Disc Disease

Common symptoms of DDD include:

  • Back pain: This is often the primary symptom and can range from mild to severe.
  • Neck pain: If the affected discs are in the neck, pain can radiate to the shoulders and arms.
  • Radiating pain: Pain can travel down the legs (sciatica) if the affected disc is in the lower back or down the arms if the affected disc is in the neck.
  • Numbness and tingling: Nerve compression can cause numbness or tingling in the affected area.
  • Muscle weakness: In some cases, muscle weakness can occur.
  • Stiffness: Stiffness in the back or neck, particularly in the morning, is a common complaint.
  • Pain that worsens with activity: Certain movements or activities can exacerbate the pain.
