<bot>: Because you are not above the age of emancipation in the state from where I am answering your question I am not permitted to give specific medical advice without parental or guardian permission.  Please have someone proxy on your behalf to reask your question and submit to me at: www.yyyt.yy/yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy As a general statement of fact, spondylosis in a 16-year-old is an ominous diagnosis and should be aggressively looked at for other problems.  In general, weightlifting and contact sports are not recommended until you have a good reason as to why you have this condition.  Please click THANK-YOU and write to the above ad Chat Doctor.
