Sadly I was recently told I have this also, and i already have back/spinal issues from car accident...
what I have found helps the most is MEDICAL Cannabis, helps inflammation and pain and i feel helps lessen damage. I also feel igf1 helps so that would mean hgh should also ( I havent used hgh in a long time).
IGF1 Des might be an option to try ( since there is soo much fake / crap hgh out there) 15-20mcg 2X a day ( even 1X a day should help)
If you can get good hgh I say try it.. sorry to hear though..
but i rec Cannabis. I am a big advocate of it for many illnesses
