good luck. I too have what they call 'DDD' (l5/s1). clearly visible on MRI. don't want to pull this thread too much away, but I was told that this was the reason for my chronic back/sciatic pain. turns out not. i posted this in couple places, but after doing extensive research and following dr Sarno's work, I am completely pain free for at least 1 year with virtually zero physical approaches. in fact I do workout harder (including back) then before. DDD is nothing more then aging, the reduced disc space does not cause any pain. I highly recommend listening to dr Ray Ozenich book here
