i am 24 and just recently found out i have six deteriorating disk. i am in so much pain and was told that surgery is not an option. is there anything i can do or am i going to be like this for the rest of my life?
 
Hi Jess
degenerative discs is very common, ive had them since age of 21, im now 27. usually it is common in older people and its unfortunate you are experiencing pain so young, ive been there i can definately understand your concerns.
they do not do surgery for DDD unless the discs bulge and then prolapse and are damaging a nerve.
how bad is the pain on a level of 1-10? how long have u been feeling the pain? do you do labourous work? and also what kind of exercise do you do?
i found heat packs to be very good for the pain, are you taking any medication for the pain?
looking forward to hearing from you,
take care and hope pain is not too bad today
