hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
As you are having degenerative disc disease and your age is 69 it is an ageing process of the pain you are getting. Since one level disc injury will transform to the other level in few cases . also, there will be paraspinal muscle spasm and it will lead to pain and aches.
in my clinical practice such cases are treated will with a combination of medication and physical therapy. They respond well and optimum functionality is achieved.
