Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Disc desiccation is considered a small disability unless it is associated with significant nerve compression. The disability depends on your muscle tone and this can be reversed with proper physiotherapy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
