[|AI|]  Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern. The osteophytes are quite common findings in the MRI and generally cause pain in the neck and treated witChatDoctormon NSAIDs. They become problematic if they compress the spinal cord, which can be clearly seen in the MRI. In that case they need surgery to prevent worsening of the situation. Otherwise, they are not problematic Hope this helps. Please feel free using MHC again
