Degenerative Disc Disease Symptoms

Degenerative disc disease symptoms vary and depend on where the degeneration is occurring. An MRI can verify the findings. The pain is generally related to a specific movement or activity and will elevate with the action and will typically subside with time. Pain may be acute or chronic.

Common Degenerative Disc Disease Symptoms

• Low back pain is more intense while sitting
• Specific movements will worsen the pain, such as lifting, twisting, and bending
• Frequent fidgeting and changing positions helps to moderate the discomfort
• Weakness, and/or difficulty walking
• Lying down is the most comfortable position

A typical sensation is muscle spasms and is often described by patients as their back has "gone out". The pain ranges from slight discomfort to excruciating pain and can be intermittent.

If the disc degeneration is in the lumbar lower back area, leg pain with numbness and tingling is common. Pain is referred down the leg, however it is not typically felt below the knee.

In the neck, or cervical area, pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness also occur. The discomfort is felt in the neck, shoulders, arms and into the fingers.

If you are experiencing one or more of these symptoms, your body is trying to tell you something. Pain is the body's indication of a problem. Untreated degenerative disc disease can lead to paralysis. The earlier that it is treated, the better. With early intervention through IDD Therapy®, a patient has a good chance at living pain free.
