Is Spine Degeneration A Serious Problem?

Hello, 2 days ago I woke up and couldn't get out of bed because of back spasms. I have had 5 MOBIzx tablets, supposed to take 1 more - they have helped, but should I stop? Just read about possible side effects.
xray: "spine degenerated" - is it serious? 65 years old, but very flexible and youthful - until 2 days ago!

regards, Grete

HI
Well come to HCM
At the age of 65 such backache is very common not all the time related with degenerative disease of spine, but most of the time this may be due to poor posture, taking analgesic in high dose may be danger, the best option you have is physiotherapy, and local analgesic "Diclofenac gel' would be nice, take care.
I find this answer helpful
