Suggest Herbal Remedies For Bone Spur On Left Foot
Question: I have a PAINLESS bone spur on the top right hand side of my left foot which disables me from a proper shoe fitting. Is there an herbal supplement which might dissolve this calcium deposit from my foot over time? Someone suggested "chanca piedra, the stone breaker" which he feels worked miraculously on his bone spur and dissolved the bone growth over time.
Please advise. Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Herbal remedies will not work
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
I wish there was a medicine that would dissolve bone spurs but unfortunately there is not.
the non operative solution would be to accommodate the bump in your foot wear or to protect / pad that particular area.
bony prominences in the foot can be surgically removed. usually your physician would want an X-ray first to find out exactly what is causing he spur.
best wishes
