1. Bone Spurs

Osteophytesor bone spurs are small and appear as bumps which protrude from joints affected by osteoarthritis. They are caused when the body tries to mend the breakdown of cartilage. The impact on nearby nerves can create additional problems, including numbness, tingling, and additional pain. This can occur in the spine and lead to difficulty standing and walking, but some people are not even aware of them until they show up on an X-ray.
