How can I cure CALCANEUS spur formation in my heel bone?
Bone spurs, an overgrowth of bone at or near joints (usually those of the big toe), don’t cause pain; shoe pressure on the spurs does. Try wearing roomier shoes, stretch shoes, or extra depth orthopedic shoes. Putting pads inside your regular shoes may help, so long as the pads don’t put more pressure on the spurs. Aspirin or ibuprofen may relieve the pain temporarily, but that’s not a long-term solution. Sometimes an injection of a long-acting corticosteroid (Depo-Medrol, Hydrocortone) can provide relief for months. If those simple measure aren’t sufficient, surgery to file down the protuberances may indeed be your best bet. Recovery from surgery rarely takes eight weeks, however. Most people can resume sedentary activities, such as desk work, within a few days and light walking without crutches or a cane in three or four weeks. So far, laser treatment for bone spurs seems to offer no advantage over traditional surgery. I hope this helps you. And good luck.
