Hello Anonymous

Degenerative: (of a disease or symptom) characterized by progressive, often irreversible deterioration, and loss of function in the organs or tissues.

Are you asking about yourself? Please speak with your physician.

Spondylolysis is a specific defect in the connection between vertebrae, the bones that make up the spinal column. This defect can lead to small stress fractures (breaks) in the vertebrae that can weaken the bones so much that one slips out of place, a condition called spondylolisthesis.
