What are symptoms of bone spurs?

Some people have bone spurs and don’t even know it. Spurs start to create symptoms when they:

• Put pressure on nearby nerves.
• Restrict movement.
• Rub against other bones or tissues.

When that happens, you may feel some:

• Knobby or bumpy areas, especially in the fingers or toes.
• Numbness and weakness, especially in the legs if the spine has spurs.
• Pain near the affected joint, like heel pain.
• Reduced range of motion (how far the joint moves).
• Stiffness.
• Tendinitis (swelling of a nearby tendon).
• Tendon tears (like a rotator cuff tear in the shoulder).
