Default Osteophytes After ADR

When I had some xrays taken this summer for my follow-up adr surgery for dr. b, the xrays showed a large ostophyte at l2-l3. This is the level above by three level adr. The disc at this level is also degenerated.

I think that an important point was made about the reason for the development of the bone spur. I am not in enough agony to find out why my bone spur has developed. I had a three level facet nerve denervatin done a couple of months ago and it has helped reduce my pain. Heck, the steriod injection into my knee has also helped with my lower back pain. Before my knee injection I walked with a limp that caused my lower back to get knotted up and painful.

Anyway, I hope you find resolution to your back pain. Thank you for letting me rant.
