Degenerative muscle and nerve disease
What is degenerative disc disease (DDD)?
Degenerative disc disease is arthritis in the spine. It occurs when the disc loses its water content and height and it can begin to bulge (B). This can lead to wear in the facet joints and bone spurs (BS). Typically, the arthritic pain is perceived as neck pain.
What is disc degeneration and nerve impingement?
Disc Degeneration, Nerve Impingement, and Stenosis in the Cervical Spine Nerve impingement is a condition in which abnormal pressure is placed on the nerves in the cervical spine [neck] and is often related to degeneration of the discs.
Can a damaged or degenerated disc cause weakness?
However, in some people, the damaged or degenerated disc can cause pain or weakness by placing abnormal pressure on nerve roots and/or the spinal cord [nerve impingement]. One way in which this can occur is through a process called cervical spinal stenosis. Cervical Disc Herniation
What is myopathy in skeletal muscle?
The term “myopathy” is commonly used to describe disorders of skeletal muscle in which degeneration and necrosis are key features. However, since myopathy is a general term and one that typically encompasses a collection of lesions rather than one distinct lesion, its use is not recommended.

symptoms as a result of degenerative disc disease. When Degenerative Disc Disease becomes painful or symptomatic, it can cause several different symptoms, including neck pain, nerve root pathology, and spinal cord compression. These symptoms are caused by the fact that worn out discs are a source of pain because they do not function as well as

Degenerative Myelopathy is an autoimmune disease whereby the patient's own immune system attacks their central nervous system. This immune attack leads to loss of myelin (insulation around nerve fibers) and axons (nerve fibers). While it begins and is most severe within the thoracolumbar (middle back) spinal cord, DM also affects other areas of
