Degenerative Disc Disease? What's That?

Mummy has been complaining of backaches for a while now. The backache has gotten worse over the last few months especially after she delivered me and prolonged carrying of me (since I am growing heavier and heavier). So she decided to visit an orthopaedic doctor at SGH for a consultation. Dr Chen got Mummy to do an MRI scan to review her spine further. The MRI shows that Mummy is suffering from Degenerative Disc Disease...

So Mummy went home and did a google search on this and found the following in extract:

Degenerative disc disease is not really a disease but a term used to describe the normal changes in your spinal discs as you age.

Unfortunately, there is no fast cure for this. Dr Chen advised Mummy to exercise more to strengthen her back.
