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?
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
