hi,

as mentioned by you the brief history of you I will recommend to first take an x-ray and confirm that it's a spur. Also, post that your physician may help with treatment which will help ease the symptoms. Next to understand is that this spur once confirmed needs an attention by doing some exercises for feet and also getting a shoe insole. which will help further to avoid the pain and reduce the inflammation.

regards.
