My back hasn't been the same since surgery

Overall, I feel so much better at almost 4 yrs postop. But my back started giving me pains at about 3 months post-op. Originally, my doc explained it as my body adjusting to redistribution of weight, loss of weight, etc. Most recently, my new doc has taken x-rays and has told me that I have back bone spurs and need to see a specialist. Everthing i read on internet indicates this is normally found in elderly folks- but i am 36 years old. most days i cry from the pain, and find it unbearable to bend over, sit for long, stand for long, etc. I'm slowly gaining weight, because i can barely move about at work now, and am not a very good example to my employees because i can't even smile at work anymore, i'm in such pain. Has anyone dealt with back bone spurs and have any advice...please help!!
