Multiple Sclerosis MS Multiple Sclerosis also known as disseminated sclerosis is a chronic degenerative disease of the nervous system. Disc bulging disc herniation disc protrusion disc prolapse all can result from due to degenerative disc disease. For instance as the space between the vertebrae gets smaller because of DDD the spine becomes less stable and the body sometimes reacts to this by creating bone spurs which can put pressure on nearby nerves and result in nerve root compression.
As you age or due to damage or disease your spinal discs begin breaking down and can no longer support your spine. Degenerative disc disease commonly occurs in the neck or lower back as you get older. OA is plainly seen on an X-ray not an MRI.

The root cause is thought to be loss of soluble proteins within the fluid contained in the disc with resultant reduction of the oncotic pressure which in turn causes loss of fluid volume.
This sudden release of the jelly portion of the disc is called a ruptured or herniated disc because the fragments can cause fairly rapid onset of pain tingling numbness or weakness. The pain typically radiates down the extremity and is made worse by. Disc bulging disc herniation disc protrusion disc prolapse all can result from due to degenerative disc disease. YesI can relate.
