I can't read xrays or mri's so can't help you there. OA pain is usually radiating and follows a downward path. The nerves pass through the damaged area, decending from the brain, the pain is felt after the damaged area. You may want to discuss this with your primary, it could be something else. One other thought, if the nerves effected control any of the muscles, they could be causing the pain...
best to check with a doctor though.
