Patients with cervical bone spurs may experience persistent neck pain and restricted neck movement. They may also develop symptoms such as tingling, numbness in the upper body, and reduced muscle strength. Bone spurs can irritate surrounding tissues, causing pain, limited mobility, and stiffness. Additionally, they may lead to cervical spine instability, contributing to the development of cervical spondylosis.
