What Is Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease? | Intervertebral Disc Height Loss

In consequence of aging or trauma, the intervertebral disc can be damaged or degenerated.
Loss of disc height can cause bulging of the disc, putting pressure on the nerves exiting the spine.
Lumbar disc disease can cause severe pain in the back and legs and sporadic tingling or weakness through the knees. Disc disease treatment is intended to re-establish the height of the disc and stop movement to alleviate pain.

[दिलहैहिंदुस्तानी-ङष]

Can you please explain me what's the role of medicine in disc bulge and degenerate disc? If treatment is intended to restore disc height?

How that can be healed at young age
Or is not possible

And what's the treatment you suggest ?

If my scans said I had degeneration would that mean it’s DDD? I have tingling and nerve symptoms in my hands. I asked my doc and he said it’s just wear and tear. I got this scan at 25. Would this be arthritis? What’s the difference between the two? He doesn’t really seem to care much about my treatment so just trying to find answers about both conditions. Thanks! 🙏🏻
