What is degenerative joint disorder in the vertebrae? and what can it do to a human?
I think you have RA mixed up with Osteoarthritis which is a degenerative joint disease that can strike any joint in the body. Rheumatoid arthritis is an Auto immune disorder that attack cartilage bone and muscle around joints as well as other parts and organs of the body.
spondylosis spondyl/o = vertebrae/vertebra osis= abnormal condition
what type of joint is between bodies of vertebrae ? cartilaginous joint
Degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis)
The cervical(neck) vertebrae. The joint formed by C1 and C2, also known as the atlas and axis.
I have degenerative joint disorder in my back. What steriod is used to inject in the 4th and 5th vertabra? To take the pain away?
Uncovertebral joint arthropathy is a degenerative change of the uncovertebral joints. These joints are small synovial joints between the lower cervical vertebrae and the superior vertebral body.
The uncovertebral joint is also known as the Luschka's joint. These are bone spurs that occur when the third through seventh cervical vertebrae meet.

Discs are part of your Spinal Column. The condition you mention causes a curved back and poor posture. Joints are elbows, ankles, wrists, shoulders, neck, finger and thumb components. DJD is pain at the joint(s).

Facet joints are the joints which connect the vertebrae to one another. Degeneration of the facet joints is commonly caused by arthritis and is a cause of pain and loss of mobility.

The disks in question would be found between the vertebrae where they cusion the joint. Injury or degenerative disease will cause the surface of the disk to deteriorate and bulge. The bulging presses on nerves and can cause paralysis or pain.
Degenerative is an (usually) irreversible, progressive process in which body tissues deteriorate over time. Lipping is an overgrowth of the bone joints that is a symptom of degenerative or inflammatory joint disease. So degenerative lipping would be irreversible bone joint deterioration and overgrowth.
