I have a Bone Spur in my Heel. What can I do to ease the pain?
I have been seeing a podiatrist for 4 months getting injections in my heel for a bone spur. It does help with the pain but in few days later the pain is back and I can't hardly walk. I don't want to have surgery. Is there anything I can do to make the spur go away? It so painful! I have been on anti-inflamatory medicine which has reduced the swelling and fuild build up however the pain is still there and it is very differcult to walk at times. Please help!! Thank You!!

Ask your Podiatrist. I have the same problem. I've been told to get shoe inserts, such as Dr. Scholl's- Again, ask the Podiatrist. He/she knows ur case. It is VERY painful, and I really don't think a bone spur goes away. It is most painful when first getting up, as ur circulation has to get moving again. Do you do epsom salt soaks? Has it been suggested that you ice the area, elevate it, and REST the foot as much as possible. I realize how painful this is, as does ur Podiatrist. Write a list of questions down to ask ur Doctor about ur questions and concerns. Good luck and Take care!

April 25th, 2009 at 9:25 amI had one in the right shoulder that went undiscovered for over 8 years. By the time they did find it, I had to have part of the forward shoulder bone removed with the spur and cyst had also developed. That was 8 years of pain that continued to consume my every movement and effected my everyday life and work.
Have it removed, you'll be happier in the long run.
I am sorry to say but the only way to ease this (I had the same thing) is surgery and the sooner the better because the longer you put it off the larger the spur gets and the more damage is done to the nerves in your heel.. Good luck God bless Grant M in Pennsylvania
