Hi, Anon.
Thank you for posting.
A bone spur (osteophyte) is a bony growth formed on normal bone. ... It's usually smooth, but it can cause wear and tear or pain if it presses or rubs on other bones or soft tissues such as ligaments, tendons, or nerves in the body. Common places for bone spurs include the spine, shoulders, hands, hips, knees, and feet. Treatment depends on the severity but can include a short period of rest, anti- inflammatory pain medication, and physical therapy. See your doctor for treatment options.
