Things To Avoid With Juvenile Degenerative Disc
Disease

• Degenerative disc disease refers to a medical
  condition in which the spinal discs of the
  vertebrae cause pain because of inflicted damage.
  
• Even though it is most commonly observed in
  people belonging to the older age groups, the
  degeneration can kick start as early as in the
  20s.
• Juvenile disc degeneration mostly affects people
  belonging to the age group of late teens to early
  30s. This medical condition can arise due to any
  factor, ranging from genetic inheritance to a
  spine injury.

• 2. Carrying Heavyweight
• As long as one is affected by this medical
  condition, it is best if the patient does not
  lift or carry any heavy object at any time.
• This is because bending over and lifting anything
  heavy causes strain on the spine discs which
  are already damaged in the case of people
  suffering from the juvenile degenerative disc.
• Hence, it is best to not put any unnecessary
  strain on the spine as much as possible.

• 3. Overlooking the Complications
• One way in which the juvenile degenerative disc
  differs from the one in adults is that the
  degeneration takes place in more than one disc.
• In most cases, the damage is caused to most or
  all the lumbar discs, and hence should be treated
  as soon as it is diagnosed. Overlooking the
  complications and not considering a degenerative
  disc disease treatment in such cases might worsen
  the situation for young adults.
