Mild osteophyte formation refers to the development of small bone spurs, which are bony projections that form along the edges of bones, typically in joints. This condition often occurs as a result of joint degeneration or Arthritis and may indicate early stages of wear and tear. While mild osteophytes may not cause significant symptoms, they can be associated with joint stiffness or discomfort. Monitoring and management may be necessary if symptoms develop or worsen.

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.
