I was told this morning Ive got a bad bone spur on my foot and may require surgery down the road, but Im not sure how I got it or what it is exactly.

Bone spurs, also known as osteophytes, are bony projections that form along joints. Bone spurs form due to the body's increase of a damaged (usually due to arthritis) joint's surface area in a futile attempt to improve weight distribution. However, they usually limit joint movement and typically cause pain.\n\nBone spurs form naturally on the spine as a person ages and are a sign of degeneration in the spine. In this case the spurs are not the source of back pains, but instead a common symptom of the problem.\n\nI had one in my shoulder once that made movement very painful. I found that I'd do anything to be relieved of the problem. My Dr had prescribed steroids and I took them orally... they didn't seem to work and the pain continued. The doctor later prescribe Buspur. I didn't know what it was until later. I guess the Dr thought I was getting too impatient. It took about six months and two weeks of steroids for the spur to go away on its own. I'm glad I didn't have to have surgery. The Buspur is still in my cabinet some ten years later. But you need to have a doctor check out the spur, it could be tearing important tissue, or doing other damage. You don't want it to damage the cartilage in a joint or rub a nerve the wrong way \n\n\nSpurs can also appear on the feet, either along toes or the heel.

First of all, a broken bone would not necessarily keep you from moving your toes.\n\nThe fact that it didn't really start hurting till several hours later makes it more likely that it was just a bad bruise, which got more painful because you stayed on your feet and allowed the injury to swell up a lot over the next several hours.\n\nThe best thing would have been to elevate the foot, put a cold pack on it, and use an Ace wrap, and stay off the foot as much as possible. You should still do that, and see a doctor if it gets worse or doesn't start getting better in a day or so.

if doc says there is nothing then why are you asking again.  maybe just muscle pain if you've been walking alot and doc may not see that. try not to worry about it.

I have never heard of that. Maybe you should ask a podiatrist or endocrinologist about that. It seems weird to me.

I have a rather boney foot and it hurt pretty badly. I kept having involuntary muscle spasms and my leg kept jumping. Fortunately it was small and simple so it only took 15 minutes. But it was pretty bad as compared to other areas of the body.

Yes, go to the doctor and get an x-ray.  Sounds like you have a small fracture but you won't know for sure until you get that x-ray.  You don't want to keep re-injuring it.

It's a heel spur, not spirt.  It's a small piece of bone that forms, usually from some type of induced trauma (like running on pavement, etc.)  It's basically an overgrowth in one small area of your "heel bone" (aka calcaneus).

Could be one of three things.. You are walking too heavily on your heels, have a displacement of one or more of the tarsal bones or, the attachment of the arch to the talus. Are you losing the arch in the foot? Several things should have been checked. That being one of them. The body will defend the area by allowing the formation of crystalline material there and will eventually develop a spur on one of the ligamentous attachments. It should have at least been x-rayed. To have some determination of the causation.\n\nBeing you didn't include your age, there is no way to determine if there is the possibility of loss of bone density in the area.

I had that after I got the cast off from a broken leg.\n\nIt has to do with a major nerve that  runs down the length of your leg all the way to your big toe.\n\nI had to go to a specialist who did all kinds of nerve tests to see what was damaged and the connectivity of the nerve - electrical impulses and stuff like that.  Luckily it was just pinched but it took months to work again and lots of physical therapy.\n\nPlease see your doctor and soon!

I guess you have to live with it, I had to walk with a limp for 2 months after a soccer injury, because when I went to see a bone specialist they said there isnt much they could do (because it was just a crack and it was in the end of the femur bone of my thigh)

go to an orthopedic and let him / her look in to the problem it may just be calcium built up and that is where it sets..

No, this sounds like an additional injury that was not previously noticed or is something new. They could be connected only by the means of that by working on your feet that particular foot/ankle is compensating for the other one now due to a shift caused by the previous injury. Get it looked at im sure it is fixable more easily that you think. physical therapy im sure will work wonders. Similar thing happened to me.

Sounds like it might be plantar fascitis. I had that. It's an inflammation of the fascia on the bottom of the foot. I ended up getting inserts for my shoes and had to do stretching and strengthening exercises. And don't climb round rung ladders!

my friend had heart surgery and that happened to her due to an infection 2wks after her surgery.  Or it could be a brisk movement has torn stiches, either way have it checked out asap.

See your doctor or a podiatrist

Yes, it's very possible. You could also have dislocated it. Did you injure it at all or do you wear shoes that are too narrow or wear heels? If so, try changing your footwear and take care of your feet;massage, pedicure etc.

Oh no!, that really sucks! But, I think you know what to do already. Go see a doctor before it heals so he can put it back in place. If you are worried, got to the emergency room at your nearest hospital. Good Luck! And keep your head back from that lil rascal!
