Since it is arms & legs affected I doubt it is spur or disk related..did dr mention any spine levels cervical, thoracic, lumbar? (C 4 , T 6, L 3 etc)

Can you get a copy of the written report. It is good to have it for your own records also.
That will tell, or should tell, what levels /areas the spurs are, and if mild, moderate, severe, and if touching any nerves, or the cord..

It might be wise to seek out a movement specialist of some sort.

Thanks for your reply.

My report reads as below (for brain). MS has apparently been ruled out.

There is a mild curvature concave to the left within the lower cervical spine. There is some early reduction in T2 discal signal at C5/6 with maintenance of cervical disc height. Some minimal disc osteophyte bars are present at C3/4, C5/6, C7/T1 and T1/2. The cervical canal is capacious and the neural foramina are widely patent. There is a normal appearance to the cervical cord. There are static appearances relative to the MRI cervical spine of 15 May 2014. Incidental note is made of a small vertebral body haemangioma at T3 level. In Conclusion: There are minimal disc osteophyte bars of doubtful clinical significance. There is no intrinsic or compressive neural abnormality within the cervical spine

[QUOTE=Comeonthen;1218239]Thanks for your reply.
I have severe mobility and neuropathic pain problems in legs. After MRI and an operation 10 years ago bone spurs and "spinal epidural lipomatosis" (SEL) were both identified as needing attention. The white spots could be an example of SEL though of course I am not qualified in to pronounce.

SEL is an accumulation of fat globules within the spinal cavity which, if they impinge on the spinal cord itself can cause similar problems as bone spurs. If you use that term in a web search engine you can find out about the causes of SEL and there are a few examples of MRI images of them.

Hope this is helpful.
