Do bone spurs cause pain?
My mother was recently diagnosed with a bone spur in her heel, and she's experiencing a lot of discomfort. She keeps asking if bone spurs cause pain. I always thought they were harmless.

They really do, and honestly, the constant throbbing can completely drain you mentally. I used to cry because of my heel spur every single morning. It is so tough when others don't see the pain but you can barely walk.
My teenager was getting terrible pain in the heel during football practice due to a small bone spur. We got him special soft heel cups for his shoes and it helped a lot. Make sure you don't let them strain the foot too much.
I already have so many aches from my PCOS, so when I started getting sharp foot pain, I got so worried. Turns out bone spurs themselves don't always hurt, but they rub against nerves and tissues. I suggest getting an X-ray done to be sure.
Look, if the spur is rubbing against your tendons, it will hurt like crazy. Don't sit and tolerate it thinking it will dissolve on its own. Go see an orthopaedic doctor, get the proper shoes, and do the physical therapy they tell you.
Sometimes simple changes work wonders without spending too much. I had severe spur pain in my shoulder, and using hot fomentation along with basic stretching exercises recommended by a local physio helped me recover slowly.

In my experience, gentle warm oil massage with a little ginger extract can soothe the surrounding muscles. But one must remember that the bone growth itself won't go away with home remedies. Take your doctor's advice on proper orthotics.
Hey, don't stress too much about it! Sometimes these spurs just sit there silently without causing any trouble at all. But if it is hurting, just rest it for a bit and see a doc for some simple exercises.
