Unusual: Bone spurs are often mistaken for other things. I am not try to doubt your opinion of what you are having, but having a lot of bone spurs is unusual. Cystic lesions such as ganglion cysts or small fatty tumors, lipomas, are far more common. Bone spurs are usually hard to tell by the feel of it and an xray will be needed to document their bony origin.

DISH: Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (dish) is considered a form of degenerative arthritis or osteoarthritis. However, dish is characterized by unique, flowing calcification along the sides of the contiguous vertebrae of the spine and other parts of your body like heel spurs.

Consult: I suggest you see a rheumatologist. You need to be tested to see if you have a systemic problem causing these spurs.
