Hello,

* Degenerative changes are age-related issues involving many of the joint and ortho sites with calcium and phosphate homeostasis disturbances.

* As the pain is severe, nerve compression with secondary radiculopathy giving referred pain over the lower back, hip and buttocks are obvious and if the intensity is much with interference with work, I would recommend surgical intervention if conservative management is not satisfactory.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
