How do you know if you have a Bone Spur?

The simple answer is that you would probably experience pain. Many patients come in complaining of pain between the toes. They may not see anything, but they know it hurts. A hard layer of skin or corn may have developed. The underlying problem is that a bone spur is present, leading to pressure on the skin. All corns come from a bone spur or other bone problem. This is why removing a corn is only a temporary fix. The permanent solution is to have the bone spur removed, also known as an ostectomy.
