Spondylitis: is another term for degenerative arthritis of the spine, and osteophytes are a manifestation of degenerative change, so the answer is yes.

Yes!: I am surprised that the MRI didn't show anything else, or Did it? You need to be seen and examined by an Orthopod to determine the cause of the tingling (pins/needles) that you are experiencing, as these couls very well be from the spondylosis But the MRI should have reported stenosis. Have you provided a complete MRI report?
