Question 1

what is degentive disc?

Accepted Answer

Back pain: Degenerative disk disease is a breakdown of the spongy disks that separate the bone disks that make up your spine. Basically think of them as jelly donuts. Over time the 'jelly' and starts to bulge and can put pressure on the nerve roots as they exit the spinal column. This pain can be positional due bending forward/backward/sideways which can cause the bulge to change.

Question 2

what makes disc herniate?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Not completely certain but various factors may play a role. Typically as you age your disc loses water content and is more brittle and susceptible to herniation. Twisting and bending can put pressure on the disc and cause this issue as the inner portion of the disc pushes into the outer portion or even through the whole thing.

what is a compressed disc?

Back pain?: I'm assuming you are referring to spinal condition where you have back pain? Sometimes the spinal columns making up the enitre back (spine) can compress down because of weakness or overweight and cause pains. Xray, MRI or bone scan can show this.

Question 8

how to reduce fats in 15 days?

Accepted Answer

How about 15 weeks?: Helpful weight loss diets have natural foods that take time to chew but contain few calories. Examples include carrots, celery, and iceberg lettuce (little/no salad dressing). When shopping for fruits, buy small ones no bigger than a tennis ball, because fruits have sugar. Drinks without calories include water and green tea. A calorie is a calorie, but surely avoid sugar & simple starch calories.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Causes of Headache: It depends on the character of it.
Headache that is affecting one side of the body and it come all the time might indicate Migraine

Many causes of the headache and it might be very difficult to summarise in with no much additional information.
I suggest to see your doctor for assessment and management.
