When you get degenerative changes (wear-and-tear) of your joints, one of the things that can happen is the formation of bone spurs. The technical term for this is "osteophyte" formation. The uncovertebral joints are between the bones in your neck. These terms together mean that you have some degenerative change in your neck, which is not uncommon as people age. More specifics would need to be known to determine how much, if any, these changes are affecting how you feel.
