I’ve been suffering from back pain and weakness for some time. One day I came back from the work and went to the bathroom. Next minute I was lying down. I just felt. After few days I had complete physical exam and did MRI. Diagnose was degenerative disc disease. I just hope that surgery want be needed.

I have degenerative disc disease for years. I was on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs therapy until recently, but I have to start with opoids now. I also don’t want to have surgery, but Ibuprofen doesn’t work for me anymore. The pain in back is persistent.
