L5S1 PROBLEM

An L5-S1 disc disease is a disease of the intervertebral disc space between two vertebrae of the spine. The most frequently encountered is degenerative disc disease, a process of gradual deterioration of an intervertebral disc mainly due to osteoarthritis. In most cases, this disc degeneration is located at the lumbosacral junction between the L5 and S1 vertebrae. There is stiffening, drying, and a gradual settling of the disc. This is due to cellular aging of the intervertebral disc. (ref from https://health.ccm.net/faq/299-l5-s1-disc-disease-definition-symptoms-treatment-and-prevention)
