I’m 38 and have recently been diagnosed with having a cervical osteophyte im down for c5, c6,c7 acdf. Have worked with power tools and heavy manual lifting for past 25 years. Is this likely to have caused the osteophyte? The position my neck is put in using these tools is exactly where the osteophyte is causing issues.

Going forward after op is it safe to continue these activities or is it likely to place added stress on the surrounding areas.
