Hello,
Based on your description of your complaints the streaks which are present on the back of your husband are unlikely due to disc problem. That is these are unlikely to be caused by disc disease, These are more likely to be caused by the liver condition present. I would recommend you to bring these to the notice of your physician in your next visit.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar, Orthopaedic Surgeon
