Default spinal degeneration

My husband has been battling this disease, chronically tired all the time and unable to support his own body weight he now needs help to walk or to stand up. A recent MRI showed degeneration of spinal vertebrae and inflammation. Does this fit the disease picture? Or could it be related to the long term prednisone use? Or is it totally unrelated? Waiting to hear see the doctor.
If anyone has had a similar problem I would like to hear from you.
Thanks

It’s unrelated to MG, but bone loss is a side effect of prednisone.

I deal with DDD (denerative disc disease) and do have deal with MG and have taken no steroids, but it's true long use of steroids as mentioned above. I avoid them. And I deal with a lot of advanced arthritis. And 82 soon also...
