I wonder if I have what is called a bone spur on outside of my right foot along the bone. It s hard, hurts and have lived with it for weeks. What is a bone spur and might one have it along the outside of one s foot? My email is YYYY@YYYY thank you Elizabeth
With such presentations in my clinic if i are your treating Doctor for this case of bone spur, firstly I want to suggest for his particular issue don't try to dig out the cause because altering or avoiding the cause will not revert your bone spur, also it comes in the majority of people only in the foot. Because since many ears may be due to bone weakness or long time walking making you foot bones abnormal contour and forming a spur.  The treatment can be local excision of spur. If you can bear it and symptom free you can just leave like that.  Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.  Wishing you good health.
