What Are The Treatment Options For Bone Spurs?

About 4 months ago I noticed a small growth on my right shoulder and thought it might be a bone spur, no pain or discomfort so didn t worry about it. A couple of hours ago I was changing clothes and had an itch on my collar bone and was quite shocked, my collar bone on the right side has changed shape and protrudes, don t think that s the right word. The left side is more flat, the right has become rounded and sticks out significantly and the original bump on my right shoulder has grown and changed as well. I am not an alarmist and usually aren t bothered by most things but I have to admit, I m a bit freaked out.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
It can be rotator cuff injury which may need MRI for confirmation.

Medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain, you can take them consulting your treating doctor.
You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS ,or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.
You may need to take rest for early healing.

Also check your vit B12 and vit D3 in your blood.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
Regards
