Do bone spurs feel like walking on broken glass?

AnswerBone spurs feel alot like that. If it takes you awhile to get out of bed and on your feet. It's time to see the foot Doctor. It may be fallen arches. A common problem and pretty easy to fix.-------------Heel spur pain is often most intense after long periods of rest from being on your feet. Morning heel spur pain is often the most severe type of heel spur pain. The reason for this is: As you move during the day, the nerves surrounding the heel spur adjust around the spur so that the heel spur is not digging into them. After long periods of rest, such as when sleeping, the nerves relax back into their normal position. Thus, when you get out of bed in the morning, pain can become intense as you are putting weight on the heel for the first time causing the heel spur to be pushed into the sensitive nerves and tissues.

Calcium alone is not a direct treatment for heel spurs, which are often caused by plantar fasciitis or repetitive stress on the heel. While adequate calcium intake is important for bone health, addressing heel spurs typically involves rest, stretching exercises, orthotics, and anti-inflammatory treatments. Consulting a healthcare professional for a tailored approach is recommended for effective management.

The medical name for a heel spur is "calcaneal spur." It is a bony growth that forms on the underside of the heel bone (calcaneus) and is often associated with conditions like plantar fasciitis, where inflammation occurs in the tissue connecting the heel bone to the toes. Heel spurs can cause pain and discomfort, particularly during activities that put pressure on the heel.
