Back pain&disc dz: Sounds like from the partial report that there is a reduction in space between the 12th thoracic and the first lumbar vertebrae. There is thickening in the posterior ligament that runs along the vertebrae. This would be consistent with a disc drying out from age or over use and scar tissue forming. Really sucks getting old!
