That sounds like the cartilage in the joint of the knee has worn to a point where the bones have touched forming more bone in an attempt to repair the damage This leads, pain, stiffness and continued damage to the joint.
It sounds like you have nerves being pinched as a result of a narrowing of the space required for these to pass out from the spinal chord to other parts of the body. An osteophite is a bone growth that can take place between the vertebrae and is a result of degenerative arthritis.
Osteophyte is one abnormal growth. Osteophyte complex is numerous bony growths which can affect not only more than one vertebrae (but several), and can be extremely painful when rubbing on the nearby nerves, and also causes narrowing of the neural foramina(?). You don't want an osteophyte (s) placing pressure on the thecal sac (which is where the cerebral spinal fluid is located). susankatielorraine@yahoo.com
The presence of linear radiolucency in the disk space result in space narrowing with vacuum disc. It is associated with degenerative disk disease.
Can you please explain what Lumber Scoliosis with sugnificant degenerative discase, in particular disc narrowing at L2/3 and L5/s1 with osteophytes formation. However, no suspicious lytic lesions were seen within the spinc. Kind regards, Candice Blackmore candiceb@hotmail.co.UK well, the degenerative disc disease means that your disc is slowly being squished down sooner or later there will be bone on bone rubbing and that's no bueno at all!!!! more than likely they will do a artificial disc replacement and the docotrs will go through your stomach right under your belly button. or they will fuse you at L5 S1 like they did me 3 weeks ago.
It means that there are growths of bone or spurs interfering with the position of nerves that pass between the vertebrae causing pain tingling or loss of strength in certain parts of the body.

Mild disk interspace narrowing is the physical description for "mild degenerative disks" or possibly degenerative disk disease.

What all can they do for it because I'm in pain all the time. Plus I have a buling disk. I'm doing therapy and its not helping.
Cervical spondylosis is narrowing of the joint space and anterior spur formation C5-6 C6-7. This condition is usually treated with surgery performed by an orthopedic surgeon.
Focal spinal stenosis is a condition that happens with the aging of the human body. It is the progressive narrowing of the spinal canal which can lead to disc herniation and degenerative diseases.
posterior disc osteophyte at c5 c6 mild indentation on anterior thecal sac. there is uncinate spurring with left formaminal narrowing c5 c6 . would this require surgery?

MILD LEFT FORAMINAL NARROWING AT C5-C6 SECONDARY TO UNCOVERTEBRAL JOIN HYPERMETROPHY AND SPUR FORMATION
Spinal Stenosis is a degenerative process on the spinal cord. Narrowing of the spinal canal begins to the flattened the spinal cord resulting in root nerve compression.
At two joints within the knee -- the one between your upper and lower leg bone, and the one between the kneecap and thigh bone -- there is less space than there used to be. It's mild (not bad). These changes occur with age.
