Have you consulted a rheumatologist for testing and diagnosis.?
There are several disease mechanisms involving spondylosis. Testing for autoimmune arthritis is indicated for prognosis and treatment decisions.

I haven’t had much luck with rheumatologists. They did a lot of bloodwork that was expensive and noted some inflammation and positive ANA/RA factor plus missed my Hashimoto’s and antiphospholipid syndrome elevated markers/diagnoses.
Despite having significant osteoarthritis in my entire spine (told by one orthopedic doctor that my spine looked 20-25 years older than my age…I was 42 at the time and told my spine looked like that of someone in their mid 60s), the rheumatologists never said anything about my osteoarthritis or offered any treatment/suggestions.
