[|AI|]  Hello Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor Degenerative disease of spine are changes in the spine due to aging. It is in the form of osteophytes, disc prolapse etc. Aging causes chronic stress to structures, so there are some changes in the spine. Mostly it doesn't causes any problem. If at all it is causing problems, treatment is available in the form of physiotherapy, surgery etc. Besides this, there is septal thickening in medial basal segment of right lower lobe of lung along with ground glass opacities in parenchymal of lungs. There is also Gall bladder calculus. Get well soon.  Take Care Chat Doctor.
