What is Degenerative Spine and why are there wings involved?

Question: Okay, so, my doctor said I have degenerative spine. Two people have TRIED to explain what it is, but they use big words that mean nothing to me. Give me a break, I only took one semester of high school medical terminology. Could you explain in SIMPLE terms what's going on with my back, and why he said there were "two little wing looking things coming off the base" of my spine? Why are they there? Also, is there any way to make my tailbone STOP hurting? Please help. Thank you.
