I've been having this pain in my left foot for a year now, and I finally go to the hospital to get it checked out. Today, I found out it is a bone spur and since I have pain every day, I'm going to the podiatry to see my choices for my foot. I'm guessing I'll be getting treatment but my mom said I could also get surgery but the fact that I dance and barefoot makes me not want to get surgery.

I had shoulder pain for several months with a history of joint inflammation in various areas. After treatment for inflammation and X-rays, I finally decided to see a specialist who ordered an MRI. The spurs did not show up on the MRI, but it did show a torn rotator cuff (later determined to be caused by the spurs). During my rotator cuff surgery, the bone spurs were discovered and removed. It's been 14 weeks post-surgery, and I am very glad I had the surgery, but I am also very concerned about the formation of spurs elsewhere or in the same area in the future.

I have a bone spur reaching upward on my Achilles heel. The pain is not in the heel, but it causes pain in the calf of my leg with any exercise, such as walking or dancing. I am in a quandary as to whether I should exercise the foot or try not to produce stress. The doctor took X-rays, gave me a shot, and told me not to wear shoes with backs and not to stress the heel. He suggested I might want surgery, but I'm not going there.

I have RA, lupus, cervical degenerative disc disease, and cervical dystonia. I have two spurs in the middle of the roof of my mouth, one spur over my back molar, two on my right shoulder AC joint that are so big they are visible, one in the palm of hand, and six in neck. They all drive me nuts. My neck was cleaned out in 2006 during disc fusion, and now there are six more. The oral ones prevent me from eating much and I am sickly skinny. I just turned 50 and miss my life.

I have discovered from an x-ray that I have bone spurs on my neck and shoulder. One day I woke up with a stiff neck, but very very painful. I could not turn my head to either side. Went to hospital and they gave me Oxycod/apap 5-325mg. to kill the pain. This happen in Jan./Feb. it's happen 3 times since. These can not be my golden years.

I have a bone spur on my right ball of my right hip socket. The tissue between the ball and the hip seems good, but the spur causes me pain. I believe I have osteoarthritis. I am scheduled for a hip replacement surgery.

In 1995 I broke a heel spur when exiting a small boat. The pain was excruciating. 2 doctors wanted to perform surgery immediately, and a third said he wanted to use drugs for now and then surgery. A friend called who knew a chiropracter and it turned out I knew him as well. He used ultrasound on the broken spur to break it up. I was on my feet in 30 hours, and he finished the job 3 days later which prevented a build-up of calcium in the bloodstream.

I injured my right shoulder. It was diagnosed as a sprain. Physio therapy exercises aggravated it. 38 months after the injury I received an MRI which showed the spur was pinching my AC joint, it was also diagnosed as a signal alteration which I believe was due to the tendon damage. I had an arthroscopy done and after the operation still had severe pain from what I assume was tendonitis. 30 treatments and 30 days finally alleviated the pain, well besides the severe pain I felt when lifting my arm up. I have painful ARC syndrome. So now I am left with chronic pain I believe is due to the delay in diagnosis and treatment.
