FWIW....

My orthopedic surgeon (and others) have told me that bone spurs are actually one way the body uses to protect itself, and part of the aging process. So as long as they don't impinge on any nerves, they're not necessarily of great concern. Unfortunately, sometimes they do impinge, and that can be problematic. They're also like fingerprints/snowflakes; every one is different.
