What does it mean if i have ddd and my feet and hands go numb all the time. also if i sit for a long period my legs go totally numb?

Too many things??: You need to see a doctor to discuss. Ddd is arthritis of the spine and we all have it to a certain extent and numbness of hands and feet at 26yrs old would not be likely degenerative disc disease. Hands and feet nerves are from different areas of spine and if all go numb more likely something systemic. I hope you don't smoke. You need to see a physician to discuss and further tests.

DDD in young: It probably means nothing. Numbness of hands and feet is usually due to anxiety. Signs of cervical spinal cord compression could involve arm/hand, leg/foot numbness, loss of coordination and reflex changes. Other than that, i doubt that your symptoms are related to your presumably mild ddd. Numbness with sitting? Probably posture and pressure on the sciatic nerve in the buttock. Change positions.
