Degenerative Disc Disease
Degenerative disc disease is a condition when the discs between your spinal vertebrae start to wear down. These parts serve as protective cushions, so a problem with them might cause the rubbing and lead to lower back pain. The symptom might worsen with lifting, twisting, and bending but improve when you move or walk. In early stages, you can treat degenerative disc disease with occupational and physical therapy, prescription and OTC pain drugs, or keeping a healthy weight. However, surgery might be necessary in more severe cases. [7]
