The discs in your back are separated by what are called Facets, one on left. one on the right that are placed up and down (bilatteral. ) Screw it, basically what it means is the the "facets" are breaking down and can cause two discs in you back to be touching each other. But if it's mild than try to do some strengthing to your back muscle and maybe that will help the arthropath and hypertrophy to help you back ligamnts and slow down the process of any degenerative facets.
