It is a bone spur that appears in the neck. When a bone spur develops in your neck it may cause stiffness and pain in the back and neck. It can protrude inward, occasionally making it difficult to swallow or painful to breathe. The bone spur can also push against veins, restricting blood flow to your brain.
Bone spurs in your neck is usually caused by osteoarthritis. When the discs between your vertebrae start getting thinner your body may try to compensate by adding bone tissue at the edges of the vertebrae to try and compensate. This bone growth is known as a bone spur.
