<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I had an mri completed and the found degerative changes in the lower spine with osteopyte formation and narroewing in some areas I also have a right shoulder pain and neck pain with a drooping eye which they found no explanation for. Does this mean i have osteoarthritis of the spine?  <response>: Hi, Degenerative changes and osteophytes in the lower spine mean that you have osteoarthritis at this region. You also mentioned having a shoulder and neck pain. This is a separate problem from your lower spine problem. They may have many causes including osteoarthritis, tendonitis, muscle spasm, bursitis, cervical discography, etc. Chat Doctor. Sometimes it is a sign of a serious problem. I cannot make a specific diagnosis having this little information, but I suggest you refer to a neurologist to have a detailed examination and maybe some tests. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
