It sounds like you have nerves being pinched as a result of a narrowing of the space required for these to pass out from the spinal chord to other parts of the body. An osteophite is a bone growth that can take place between the vertebrae and is a result of degenerative Arthritis.

What exactly is Ligamentous Hypertrophy?
Hypertrophy of the ligaments in the vertebral canal of the spinal column can narrow the canal (stenosis) to the point that the spinal cord and/or nerve roots running through the canal are compressed. When the posterior longitudinal ligament in front and ligamentum flavum behind the spinal cord hypertrophy the cord is almost "circumferentially" surrounded and compressed.Hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum laterally near the facet joint can also contribute to foraminal narrowing (stenosis) with potential nerve compression (pinching).Source(s):uscneurosurgerysearch.yahoo.com
