A member asked:

Local back pain from lifting weights. x-rays lumbar/pelvis/si joint. mild ensteophyte formation at illiac crests. is this common? follow up needed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Osteophytes are spurs: Osteophytes are bone spurs and accumulate with life and uncertain how much they are contributing to you back pain which can occur for lots of reasons - bone, disc, muscle, tendon, bursa etc. I suspect you had the osteophytes way before you were lifting weights. You need an evaluation for the reason you have back pain.
