Hello,
The MRI shows presence of ostephytes in the scapular bone. Scapula is the bone present on upper back. Osteophytes are bony projections which is a degenerative change which occurs as age advances. The osteophytes are causing pressure symptoms on surrounding structures. I suggest you to consult your orthopedician for clinical assessment and thus management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
