http://arthritis-research.com/content/5/3/120/comments The latest comments on the article 'Degeneration of the intervertebral disc' 2003-11-20T15:08:04Z http://arthritis-research.com/content/5/3/120/comments#5101 <p>I strongly disagree with the conclusion that LBP is associated with degenerative discs. The one study quoted did not have controls and a number of other studies have demonstrated no relationship between back pain and degenerative discs. </p><p>This type of conclusion continues to foster wrong concepts and research directions. As a medical community, we need to look at the data with impassionate eyes to find real solutions to one of the contry's biggest medical problems.</p><p>Patrick B.
