Brief Answer:
Findings are not serious.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Sorry for replying late

I have gone through images in detail.
Findings are not serious.
Small cyst in head of femur may be an incidental finding,it is not expected to cause pain.
There are early degenerative changes in spine.These are expected findings due to aging.
You may need detail clinical evaluation by a orthopedician.

Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your query.
Further queries are most welcome.

I juat wanted to let you know that in all the reaearch I have done. And in apeaking with an Orthopedix Surgeon, a 1.2 cm cyst on the femoral head / acetabulum can cause horrible pain and requires biopsy and removal. So to say that it is not serious and would not cause pain seems a bit off.
Sorry for the typos.

Brief Answer:
Simple cyst is not expected to cause severe pain.

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Simple cyst is not expected to cause severe pain.
However,findings need clinical correlation and your orthopedician is the best person for further guidance.
We are more concerned about diagnostic part and exact treatment need physical examination and clinical correlation.

Get well soon.
