      • Close Degenerative Disc Disease

        Hi, im from the uk and was diagnosed 4 years ago with ruptured discs (L4/5) I have never felt pain like that before and ive had two kids!!. I refused surgery (fusion) because of too many horror stories. GP has now said that I have disc Degeneration. The pain is not as excrutiating but its bad enough! Im only 37 and am on disability allowance which depresses the hell out of me!!! I used to be so active. Just wanted to know im not the only one!
