Disc degeneration happens in all human beings as it is an age related process. Low back pain can aggravate off and on due to various reasons. It usually subsides with rest, physiotherapy and medications. But it is advisable to see an orthopedic or spine surgeon first to undergo proper clinical evaluation and treatment accordingly AO that he can get back to normal as earl has possible. Spinal muscle strengthening exercises should be done regularly after pain subsides, so that he doesn't get such episode again. Pay attention to proper sitting posture. Take care.
