Traumatic compression fractures to my thoracic spine, can this cause degenerated discs?

My insurance company has just informed me that I have been being treated for degenerative discs. I have not stopped treatment for chronic pain since an auto accident 3 years ago where I sustained several compression fractures. The pain has not gone away and I am having problems with my hip and shoulder too. Seems movement with accident induced kyphosis is making my body worse. What do you think?
