you say that low back pain from disc degeneration usually "gets better over time"...i have chronic cervical degeneration and it keeps getting worse as i get older since arthritis contributes to enlarging existing osteophytes which are impinging on nerves...disc herniations and ruptured discs (bulges) only press harder on exiting nerves and the stenosis keeps narrowing...kinda makes me wish i had lower back pain and not "a pain in the neck"
