Actually, you are talking about three different things... 1. Spondylosis stenosis of the spine: this is most likely occurring in the lumbar area of the spine. It means that Arthritis in the spine (spondylosis) has occurred at the edge (lip) of two --or more-- vertebra where they are close together posteriorly where the spinal canal runs, thereby making the spinal canal narrow. This is where the spinal cord runs; since the condition is described as being "mild", that means it has not started crushing the spinal cord (it only does that when the cord is being crushed in severe stenosis). It isn't anything to worry about right now, but it is a good thing that your doctor is aware of it at this time, so he can keep an eye on it. If you are in your later years, you probably don't have anything to worry about! If you are still fairly young (30's-40's) you may want to consider weight loss (if you're overweight) and especially good physical training & exercise to possibly prevent further problems... If you start having numbness in both legs and/or feet, you need to let him know ASAP so he can do more studies & then get you to a neurosurgeon, or spine orthopedic doctor. The surgery to correct this condition is called a "laminectomy" and is where the roof of the spinal canal is removed to relieve the entrapment of the cord... Copy the following web address into your browser: http://www.emedicinehealth.com/lumbar_laminectomy/article_em.htm Spinal scoliosis: this means you have a twist to your spine. You've probably had it for most of your life, and if it was something to sorry about, you would have had to see a doctor a long time ago... The upper Back pain sounds like it's muscle spams, especially because it occurs when someone bumps into to you... You would suddenly "brace yourself" from being bumped and an injured muscle area would spasm, and cause you pain...
