Tristam Rogue Pushed AwayaW 5 QoC 217 WA <| sep |> It ' s been sad for a long time . <| sep |> That global warming is caused by human activities . <| sep |> You ' re welcome . That pic does confirm what I saw . The fact that they aren ' t square and flare out on the left is actually new bone growth . One vertebrae is worse than the others but most are showing signs . This is the beginning of spondylosis aka spine arthritis and is very common . Luckily your disk spacing is still pretty good . The doctor will most likely recommend physical therapy to strengthen and stretch appropriate muscles to improve your posture along with ibuprofen . PT should reduce the pain and restore proper body mechanics which will prevent the arthritis from progressing .
