Degenerated : Degenerated disk is the disk is wearing out and collapsing. Annular bulges when the disk collapses the disk starts to push out. Centrally is the location of the bulge in the center, not on the right or left sides. Facet arthropathy is arthritis or wearing out of the facet joint. You don't have this. Please see my health guides why does arthritis cause back pain. Good luck!
