A most common symptom of this disease is pain but the exact location of pain may differ in every person according to the location of the disk which is damaged. Generally, the pain in this condition comes and goes, gets better upon changing position, is worse when at rest and gets better as you start walking, also bending or twisting may aggravate the symptoms. Some people may also experience numbness of arms and legs that is the case when the nearby nerves get affected by this problem.
Degenerative disc disease can result from drying out of the spinal disks. Loss of fluid decreases their capacity to absorb shock and thinning of disks as well. Pressure or injuries can lead to small cracks and in some cases, nearby nerves may get affected or disk may bulge and slip out of place leading to a condition termed as a herniated disc.
