osteoarthritis foot bone spurs

Does anyone have osteoarthritis and bone spurs? How fast do bone spurs grow? Do they grow on the base of the thumb? I have a lump that is hard (and hurts if I press on it) and about the size of a small pea, that was not there in September. In under 2 months this lump grew, and I want to know if it could it be a bone spur, or a rheumatoid nodule. (I have "diffuse osteoarthritis" in my joints and spine) and I am only 58. Does osteoarthritis manifest like this?

Hi there. Bone spurs are common in spine due to osteoarthritis, resulting from chronic pulling of ligaments over long time. Usually spurs form at facet joints, causing back or neck pain due to inflammation of facet joints and nerve irritation. EMG, NCV to exclude peripheral nerve compression, xray spine for arthritic changes and bone spur CT / MRI if any missed details on x rays.

Bone spurs are little bones that grow out of the normal bone, this why they are called bone spurs. These then press on nerves and cause aggravation and pain. This is typical of osteoarthritis.

ve found heel cups work well for the heel spurs but is there another insert that would help with bone spurs on the outside area of the foot? Will surgery remove them indefinitely or can they return?

48 year old female with Fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis: I had surgery on my foot 2 months ago to remove a bone spur on the top of my foot. I also had a toe (second toe, next to great toe) that was affected by separate pain and had completely turned crooked. The top of my foot - where the spur was removed is still very sore and painful if I wear shoes that tie or walk for any distance. The entire foot feels cramped as well.

He said that I had so many bone spurs in the femur that he was surprised that I could bare weight at all. He did say that the osteoarthritis was a big factor in getting bone spurs. Good luck to you.

Osteophytes, also known as bone spurs,[1] are bony projections that usually form along joints.[2] see website below for more information http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteophyte Yes it can be a result of injury.

Osteophytes is the medical term for the overgrowth of bone tissue more commonly called ‘bone spurs’. Despite the term ‘spur’, osteophytes are actually small round lumps of extra bone that grow around joints. Osteophytes are the body’s attempt to compensate for existing bone and ligament degeneration due to age or injury. Unfortunately, the body’s attempt to heal itself this way is unsuccessful.

Well, without an evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of the foot pain in your case. This may be related to the fracture, plantar fasciitis, spurs or other degenerative conditions. It is possible to continue to have a stress fracture over months when it is not given due attention and appropriate care.

Here is a home remedy for bone spurs. Soak your foot/feet in a pan of nice warm water to which you add 1 cup of baking soda and 1 cup of white vinegar. The vinegar and baking soda mix will soften the spur. Start taking Grape Seed Extract. it has been known to actually dissolve the spurs. (I used to have heel bone spurs - but dissolved them this way. No more spurs). I still take Grape Seed extract (have been for years after the bone spurs went away).

) Is gout something that is recurring? I also searched bone spurs and osteoarthritis. A friend of mine, also with MS, has some form of arthritis, but I cannot remember what type. It seems that she said it was osteo--but my memory fails me. Currently, I'm relying on my mother in law to get me to my appointments so I have been trying to figure it out so I know what to mention to my dr. by the time I'm able to get to see her. Just so many things out there that it could be anything.

I've had mri's of my spine and shows osteoarthritis with bone spurs in cervical thoracic and lumbar. This was done in 2007 (i was 35), now i have this horrible tendonitis in both wrists and i'm on prednisone. Could this be related to the arthritis? i'm seeing an ortho but he doesn't know about the osteoarthritis (i was just rereading my reports and it jumped out at me). What should i expect with this diagnosis?

I also suffer from Lumbar Buldging disks, bone spurs, and osteoarthritis of the lower back, hip and knees. The Epidural Lumber Steroid Injections have greatly reduced back and hip pain. My feet still burn almost all the time. It is painful and so far no one has been able to answer the question as to why. All I hear from physicians is "This makes no sense". I will keep you posted if I discover anything that helps this problem.

Update, i forgot to mention that I have mid to severe deteriorating bone and disc disease in L2 L3 L4 L5 discs.

Hi, How are you? Bone spurs or osteophytes formation happens due to certain conditions like age, life style changes, abnormal posture etc. In these conditions the bone in the spinal cord enlarges causing neck and back pain. Laser surgery can be used to treat radiculopathy or nerve entrapment syndromes caused due to these bone spurs. Laser surgery is minimally invasive, with less blood loss and small incision and early recovery. Consult a neurosurgeon for further advise on this. Best.

Hello all, I have had a painful heel spur on right foot for several months, tried heel cups, inserts, new shoes, napoxsyn, stretching and all have failed. I had several injections today and my heel was numb for several hours after, I am now having the most difficult time walking and the pain is more severe than it has been. I had this problem on left foot several years ago and ended up having fasciotomy (sp?) and have been pain free since. Any advice or suggestions on this newest heel spur.

A Bone Scan was ordered and shows very little other than osteoarthritis and a couple of bone spurs. X-Rays followed shortly after and confirmed osteoarthritis and bone spurs but obvious evidence of metastic cancer. TRUS needle biopsy with 7 cores produced the Gleason Score of 9. More blood tests and an abdominal CAT Scan was ordered last friday(still waiting on results of that). My urologist has said I have cancer but is not very forthcoming on details just yet. What's going on?

a sedative relaxes the individual and a tourniquet may be applied to ankle and foot to reduce blood flow and a clear work field. Bone spurs on the foot are removed via an open procedure by cutting into the foot, taking care to avoid damage to tendons and nerves. After the affected bone is exposed, osteotome is used to remove the spur and the site is smoothened with a coarse file. The incision is closed with sutures. Hope this answers your doubts. Take care.

I have osteoarthritis in my spine, from neck down. I also have pain in my knee and hands, and my fingers are twisting and have knots. My right knee has had pain and swelling for weeks, and this morning it's too painful to walk. I haven't injured it. Recent blood test didn't report rheumatoid arthritis. So what's going on with my knee, and with my hands?

I saw my ankle surgeon a couple of weeks ago and I had just found out that I have a bone spur on the top of my right foot (the same foot and ankle that I had surgery on in April 2008). He told me to do some ankle exercises to relieve some of the pain. He didn't do anything with the bone spur yet. I go see him again October 15. My question is: Will the ankle exercises help the bone spur disappear or will I need to get surgery to remove the bone spur?

I hope you can help me with this issue, I had surgery for "bone spurs" on my left elbow at the end of february 08. I am a (was) a really keen and weight lifter and lifted what most people consider heavy weights. I had the procedure as my extension on the left arm was becoming limited. I wanted the procedure to be able to straighten my arm so I could perform better in the gym.

I specifically asked this new doc if he saw any disc or bone spurs at that level and he said no. Lab work for RA was all negative. Has anyone had a similar experience???

Can anyone tell me what treatments or solutions there are for bone spurs in my neck? I only got the results to my MRI yesterday. My doctor appt. isn't until Jan. 8 so I haven't talked to him yet. All I know is that his nurse called and told me that's what I have and he wants to discuss it with me then. I'm just worried about what he may want to do. I'm so sick of the pain and headaches that sometimes I don't care what they do. Then again, I'm chicken!
