Degeneration: "corroding" certainly has a negative connotation-in reality, spinal degeneration is a completely normal age-related process. All of us will get older & gradually develop worn out discs, bone spurs, disc protrusion, etc - just part of the aging process.Of course, if you get symptoms from this aging process, there are treatment options.Talk to your md to confirm that your diagnosis is degeneration.
