Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Spine bending towards one side could be a complication arised due to the degenerative disc disease you have.
Identifying the cause for the disc degeneration is very essential which helps to plan the management and prevent further damage to the spine alignment.
Do visit another neurosurgeon and obtain a second opinion on the management.
Wish you good health.
