That's a sign of enlargement at the junction of 2 vertebrae in your midback. Arthritis or injury are causes. This condition can lead to back stiffness and limitations of twisting & turning. There's no cure but anti-inflammatory meds like ibuprofen or naproxen as well as muscle relaxants may relieve symptoms. An orthopedic specialist can evaluate & advise you about other measures like the best PT.
