Hello,
There is minor age related wear and tear associated with a spur(spine like projection). It is not a serious condition and most cases very well managed by painkillers and exercises.
If you are experiencing severe pain, you can opt for steroid injection for better pain relief. Very rarely surgical correction may be required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
