You can't answer how long? IMO they would rather see the following.
When an Examiner opens a newly assigned file and sees either disc herniation, back pain, lumbar problems, spinal stenosis, degenerative joint disease, degenerative disc disease, or the acronym DJD (which stands for degenerative joint disease) they begin to look for the following evidence (once they have in hand, of course, the records they've requested from a claimant's treatment sources):
1. Physician treatment notes indicating one of these diagnoses.
2. Objective evidence of disc deterioration such as xray reports, CAT scans, and MRI studies.
