Another reason to watch osteophytes is that as they grow they can press on the spinal cord without causing pain, but causing other symptoms. I had some symptoms, got an MRI and found out that I had mild to moderate cord compression at c3/4/5. Symptoms went away. I have been having regular MRIs every 6 months to a year for 3 1/2 years now. I sure don't want to get to the point where I can't get ADR.
