but I swear I remember seeing a bone condition that caused spiky growths, almost like crystals, to form from your bones.

That's what bone cancer is...

Sometimes it's just a lump in one spot. Sometimes it's a whole bunch of tiny growths that push into nerves and flesh.

Proteus Disease is what the Elephant Man had, but that's really just a super specific version of bone cancer.
