I’ve got bone spurs on both feet and right elbow, one going through my Achilles tendon at back ankle. Doctor told me 6 month to year if I have it removed and no guarantee Achilles would not detach after surgery? Had bone spur removed on my big toe years ago little success.

Only thing that relieved pain for me was do several different stretching exercises every morning, doing foot rolls on ball exercise, and not going cheap on shoe inserts that support arches. It took at least 4 months before I see some results. After 3 years foot pain almost gone. Except for my hammer toe problems but so far that’s manageable. Didn’t do injection cause I figured it just masses the pain till it wears off?

Everybody pain different and whether there tear or just inflammation? so, one’s success may not be remedy for others IMO.
Castor oil will remove bone spurs. Cold pressed, hexane free, organic. Wet a bandage with it and put it on the bone spurs. Two times a day. It will take some time, but it will remove the spurs. My 90 year old dad had one on each foot, and they’re gone now.
