Bone Spur

Question
Dear John,
I realize you are not a doctor but you do know about injuries so I am hoping you might be able to help. A few years ago, a fifty pound box fell on the back of my right heel (where if you were wearing sandals the strap would rest). It knocked out a bone leaving me with a bone spur which constantly rubs against a nerve everytime I walk or stand. The pain has been unbearable since. Do you know if bone spurs every go away on their own? Is there a surgical procedure to remove them that you know of? Any help you could provide would be appreciated. I can't even fit into my right shoes because the spur gets in the way. Thanks. Sincerely,
Noriya
Answer
Hi Noriya
You can use a heel cup which might reduce the discomfort.You can also have a cortsone injection which respond quite well in extreme situations like yours.I would consult with a podiatrist Noriya.Just don't give up on it.
To your success
John
