The bone in the joints edges becomes stronger and the formation of "pimples". Even vertebral edges are over the years rougher and bumpier, known as spondylosis. The holes between the vertebrae which nerves pass through may become narrower due to bone becomes knotigare. Even counters aging, they can then become thinner and sag, so-called disc degeneration. Even herniated disc is a form of degenerative changes and …show more content…
