Disc desication is another way of saying disc degeneration, which in other words is wear asnd tear or Arthritis. Discs are located between each bone of the spine and function as shock absorbers so we can move, jump, turn,etc... They also act as a spacer, creating holes on the side of the spine for nerves to exit off of the spinal cord.
Disc bulging is literally a disc that is "bulging". This is linked often times to desication because as a disc degenerates it flattens and bulges outward.
Mild disc desiccation is the earliest sign of disc degeneration. The disc normally contains fluid, and when desiccation occurs, the disc is dry. A mild annular bulge is when the material in the disc space bulges into the annulus that is outside of the spinal disc.
Sounds like a description of one cause of back ache. The bones in your spine are separated by discs, flexible pads acting like shock absorbers. If these bulge or break they can push against the nerves in the spinal cord and cause pain. Degenerative basically mean that they are getting worn by age.
Facet joints are the structures that connect the spinal vertebrae to each other. A facet joint is like many other joints in the body since it has a cartilage lining that allows the bones to glide smoothly over each other and is surrounded by a protective capsule. The function of a facet joint is to provide stability, mobility and support to the spine. Each vertebra has two facet joints, one on each side. While this can take place at any level of the spine, it most commonly affects the lumbar (lower spine) region.
A bulging disc is a bulge outside the space it normally occupies between your vertebrae, but it doesn't rupture. A bulging disc affects a much larger part of the disc than a herniated disc. While it is more common to have a bulging disc than a herniated disc, a herniated disc is more likely to be painful. It's possible for you to have a bulging disc without feeling any pain at all.
Mild disc desiccation and minimal diffuse disc bulge is a minimal herniation of a disc in the back. These bulges mostly occur in the cervical and lumbar spine.

Disc desiccation is the loss of fluid in the intervertebral discs. When this occurs at each lumbar lore, the disc is not herniated or bulging and there is no surgical treatment.

i got a disc bulge, herneated disc about 4 years go. since the injury it has progressed into disc desiccation. it's become very painful and i get spinal injections now. I'm only 19. ):

Yes they can, sudden trauma to the skeletal system can bring on the symptoms of OA prematurely to those that are unfortunate enough to have a predisposition to it.
The cause of disc desiccation is from replacement of the hydrophilic glycosaminoglycans within the nucleus polyposis with fibrocartilage. It is considered a degenerative disorder.

The pain from a bulging disc in your neck can travel to the lower back. The actual bulging disc condition will not move or spread.
Multilevel disc desiccation is a health condition of the spine. This health condition or disease is the loss of fluid between the discs of the spine. This fluid or jelly acts as cushion for the spine against pain. Multilevel disc desiccation is a degenarative disease.
No desiccation indicates some kind kind of break down in the disk itself. Herniating a disc is to have it moved out of position (pinched or something like that) which can in some cases be fixed.
