Hi
For symptomatic relief, take contrast bath (alternate dipping of feet in cold water and hot water each for 1 minute, for a period of 10 minutes). Anti inflammatory tabs of Advil and application of voltage gel to affected area.
Consult a podiatrist or foot surgeon for further treatment
If osteophytes are large and impinging on tissues,t endons during walk, then ultrasound therapy, or local depomedrol injections , or surgical removal may be undertaken as per findings which your doctor may decide.
Wearing of shoes with raised sole on inner sides may be advised for flat feet, along with, tip-- toe exercises,etc.
Best wishes
