A member asked:

I have a bone sticking(bump out of bone) out of my lower neck and upper back what does this signify?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Richard Romano answered

Bone sticking out: Sounds like a normal part of your spine. It's called the spinous process of C7 or T1. Next time you see your doctor, ask him/her.
