Latent syphilis. If you aren't treated for syphilis, the disease moves from the secondary to the latent (hidden) stage, when you have no symptoms. The latent stage can last for years. Signs and symptoms may never return, or the disease may progress to the tertiary (third) stage.
Signs and symptoms[edit] With symptomatic degenerative disc disease, chronic low back pain sometimes radiates to the hips, or there is pain in the buttocks or thighs while walking; sporadic tingling or weakness through the knees, hands, and fingers may also be evident.
Common Degenerative Disc Disease Symptoms. Degenerative disc disease (DDD) produces few or no symptoms by itself. Mild, localized symptoms may arise from inflammation in the discs. This level of symptoms is easily treated with rest and a dose of acetaminophen or another pain reliever.
