Doubtful: Spondylitis or spondylosis? Most commonly seen would be spondylosis, which simply means degenerative (aging) changes in the spine, which is normal at your age. If you have pain in your hips and legs, there may be pinched nerves in your spine, which may require further workup i.e. MRI. Unlikely to be multiple myeloma, since that would typically show characteristic lesions on whole body x-ray.
