Discogenic Pain and Degenerative Disc Disease
Discogenic pain and degenerative disc disease are often very closely related. Discogenic disorders, also collectively known as degenerative disc disease, are those in which the intervertebral discs in your spine gradually deteriorate over time. While this process is a natural part of aging, when the discs bulge or become herniated and put pressure on nerves or other tissue, it can cause pain, weakness, tingling, and other symptoms. But how exactly are these two issues linked?
How They Relate
Overtime, degenerative disc disease can cause changes in intervertebral discs. They can become brittle, dried out, change shape, and more. By themselves, these changes do not necessarily create any adverse affects. However, discogenic pain and degenerative disc disease go hand-in-hand when a disc deteriorates or deforms to the point that it irritates or compresses a nerve. This pressure can cause a variety of potentially debilitating symptoms, including numbness, radiating pain, weakness, tingling, and more.
