Natural Help for Heel Spurs |
Many people don't ever know that they have bone spurs because many times people don't experience bone spur symptoms. However, when they do cause symptoms, the bone spur symptoms depends on their location. A bone spur can develop on any bone in the body, but common areas where bone spurs develop are discussed here.
Heel Bone Spur Symptoms • Spinal bone spurs symptoms • Knee Bone Spur Symptoms • Neck Bone Spur Symptoms • Shoulder Bone Spur Symptoms • Finger Bone Spur Symptoms
When bone spurs press on other bones, tissues, nerves or rub against a muscle or tendon, they can damage it causing swelling and pain.
Bone spurs in the foot or on the heel bone (heel spurs) cause foot pain, tenderness and often swelling. This often results in difficulty walking. Many times walking will be most difficult in the morning. The reason for this is: As you move during the day, the nerves surrounding the bone spur adjust around the spur so that the spur is not digging into them. During long periods of rest, such as when sleeping, the nerves relax back into their normal position. Thus, when you get out of bed in the morning, pain can be intense as you are putting weight on your feet for the first time causing the spur to be pushed into the sensitive nerves and tissues. Bone spurs can cause inflammation to the surrounding tissues- such as the plantar fascia. Bone spurs that develop in the foot can cause corns and calluses to form to provide extra padding. You may also develop small red swollen areas which are a result of the bone spur irritation.
Spinal bone spurs can pinch nerves to cause numbness, tingling, pain and weakness in the area of the body supplied by the affected nerve. Back or neck pain is very common, and so is radiating arm and leg pain.
If a bone spur develops in your knee it may make it painful to extend and bend your leg.
When a bone spur
develops in your neck it may cause stiffness and pain in the back
and neck. It can protrude inward, occasionally making it
difficult to swallow or painful to breathe. The bone spur can
also push against veins, restricting blood flow to your brain.
