Degenerative disc disease (ddd) and arthritis are very similar, and often are considered the same.

Degenerative disc disease and sciatica facts. 1  The discs of the spine serve as cushions between each vertebral segment. 2  The discs are designed somewhat like a jelly donut. 3  Degeneration (deterioration) of the disc makes the disc more susceptible to herniation (rupture), which can lead to localized or radiating pain. Sciatica can result from disc herniation (ruptured disc) when nerves in the low back are irritated.
