How Do I Know if I have Spinal Bone Spurs?

Spinal bone spur symptoms include pain that radiates along the nerve path into the arms or legs. Numbness, tingling, and a pins and needles sensation are also common spinal bone spur symptoms. The longer the condition progresses the more compression the spur will place on surrounding nerves which may lead to muscular weakness and loss of motor function.

Frequently Asked Questions About Spinal Bone Spurs

What are causes and risk factors for bone spurs?

A bone spur is a smooth, bony growth that forms over a long period of time. Many bone spurs—or osteophytes, as they’re formally known—cause no symptoms at all, and you may not know you have one until it shows up during a routine imaging study. Joint damage from osteoarthritis is the most common cause of bone spurs. As osteoarthritis breaks down the cartilage cushioning the ends of your bones, your body attempts to repair the loss by creating bone spurs near the damaged area. In general, the risk of bone spurs is higher in people who have arthritis.

What are symptoms of bone spurs?

You might not realize you have a bone spur until you get an X-ray to look for another condition. They only cause problems when they press on nerves, tendons, or other structures in your body. At this point, you might feel pain in the affected joint, stiffness when you try to bend or move, tingling in your arms or legs, muscle spasms, cramps, and bumps under your skin.

How are bone spurs diagnosed?

During the physical exam, your doctor might feel around your joint to pinpoint your pain. Your doctor might also order X-rays or other imaging tests to view your joints and bones. Initial treatment is directed toward decreasing inflammation and avoiding reinjury when possible. A cold application can help if the location of the bone spur is accessible. You may also be subject to anti-inflammatory medications administered both orally and by local steroid injection depending on the location of the spur.
