Unless you're talking about spurs on the back of the heel where the achilles tendon attaches...
I have bone spurs on both feet, I guess from wearing combat boots and steel toes shoes for around 45 years. One bone spur on back heal where my Achilles attaches ( was told 6 moths to year recovering with reattached Achilles tendon). I was able to work through pain by doing heal stretches, took about 4 months to relieve pain. I stretch every morning before exercising and before I go to bed. I had one bone spur removed from top of my big toe. Never was same. So I’m avoiding any surgery if possible.
