Hi,
Weight loss. Losing weight reduces pressure on the bones in your feet and relieves pain associated with a bone spur.
Change shoes or wear padding, Heat and ice therapy, Cortisone injection, Walking boot, Pain relievers.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Monish De, Oncologist
