What Is Degenerative Disc Disease?
5. Pain
The main symptom of degenerative disc disease is pain. The type of pain you do experience will depend on the exact nature of your problem, so it can vary from person to person. One of the symptoms many people will have in common, however, is that the pain will come and go.
The pain can also get worse when the patient tries to twist and bend their body. It can feel worse when they sit, and it can also feel worse when they try to lift objects. The pain is likely to be located in the thighs, buttocks, and lower back and it can get better when the patient lies down.
