Like you mentioned……health problems with your joints will make some feel it more than others.
Washboard sucks.

I was having the same problem with my DJ1. I have since found out that this has been a common issue due to an internal valving problem (the speed selector valve). They will warranty this issue for you. Highly suggested before your fork dies like mine did (cracked stanchion and cracked M-arch)- both caused by the ssv. Luckily, mine is still under warranty.

What exactly is the difference between spiking and stacking?
Stacking I understand, too slow a rebound rate, fork doesnt come back fully before the next hit, whats spiking though?

I wish my lawn was emo, then the grass would cut itself.

Dial your levers in a bit too perhaps. If your hand is relaxed and in closer it doesn't bother you as much.

From what I understand, spiking is caused by hydraulic lock out. ie. in my case the ssv wasn't allowing oil through the valve when it was supposed to thereby losing the advantage of the hydraulic compression.
