Dear friend, welcome to HCM !
These Xrays show loss of normal curvature of the neck spine, osteophytes (bony outgrowths from vertebrae seen in spondylitis) from 3rd to 6th neck vertebrae.
Similar bone projections are also seen in the lower back vertebrae.
Such changes are common in spondylitis. Could cause stiffness in the spine.
Take care and please keep me informed of your progress.
Good Luck !
I hope to have answered your query satisfactorily.
