question: i am in the marine corps and my provider has done multiple xrays of my lower back, every time he gets the results back he says it is a minor case of Spondylolysis . Which is to my knowledge the L-5 slightly overlapping my lower lumbar , But i don t believe that is my problem. I have a lump or bone sticking out of the right side of my spine which is causing all of the pain, would you happen to know what this is so i can confirm myself that it is not Spondylolysis
