Hello,
I think you are talking about the arthritis of the lumbar spine, and degeneration means that the problem is not infective. Degeneration means the spine damaged by disease. You should undergo lab tests as Hb, TLC, DLC, ESR, Vit D, and serum calcium etcetera. You should also take help of physiotherapist along with the orthopedic surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi
