i'm 59 yr old tennis coach in NZ. I've got a referral from a medical advisor that my MRI demonstrates small disc protrusion at L5/s1 and degeneration causing mild stenosis and impingement of left s1 nerve root; Ganglion noted at left L4/5 interlamonar joint in combination with disc bulge to potentially compromise the left L5 nerve root; annular tears are seen at L2/3 and L3/4.
Q: What can I do about my degenerative disc problem?

I have degenerating discs too and I am only 15 years old. I go to physical therapy 2 help with the pain. Ask your doctor if you can go to physical therapy. Its working for me. Good luck!

I also have DDD, but without knowing how painful yours is it's hard to answer this. What has your doctor given you for options?
I would love to help, but need a bit more info.
Bless You,
RR
