What is chronic discopathy with desiccation mean ? is that same as ddd?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Degenerative disc disease implies the narrowing and drying out of the cushioning disc (desiccation). "Chronic Discopathy" means simply long-term pathology of discs. All of this points toward a wear and tear phenomenon.
