I have a large spur in my shoulder. I have been told that it can break off at anytime. What are the sign of the spur breaking off and what should I do? I have been dealing with this for about fifteen to twenty years. I also had cervical stenosis and had three vertebrates removed. I still have a lot of pain in both my shoulder and my neck. What should I do?
Hi you have a spur in your bone in the shoulder for last 15-20 yrs, and it has nor broken yet. You also had surgery in your neck. In my opinion you can wait for the spur to break(it will be indicated by increased pain and severe restriction of movements + you may have local bruising). In case it breaks you can go for excision.
