A member asked:
I've been told i have no cartilage left between my l1 and l2. is there a fix for this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No cure: Unfortunately once cartilage goes, it is gone. But the mere fact that your disc has degenerated does not necessarily mean that you will have back pain, nor does it necessarily mean that back pain you may already have is related to l1-2 disc disease. Keep fit, use proper body mechanics, exercise, control your weight.
