What do you mean specifically by degeneration on your lowest vertebrae?

What kind of diagnosis have you gotten?

What type of surgery has been suggested to you to have?

Have you been seeing a spine specialist?

If you can provide more information, including the answers to the above questions, then some answers can be given.
