Pain may not be-: -from the oeteophyte, because you don't say what level that finding is at or how many levels are involved. The back pain i would assume front your age could very well be from degenerative disk disease of the lumbar spine. A bulging disk is another sign of degenerative disease. There are many treatments available so see your PCP for eval & referrals if needed.

Common Problem: These days there are a wide-variety of treatment modalities to chose from that are effective. I assume you are currently being evaluated by orthopedics and/or neurology.
