Did you injure your knee, Bonnie? Sometimes, the inflammation that is a natural part of healing can overdo it.

I fell way back in 2009, breaking my right 5th metatarsal and spraining my ankle. I landed, hard, on the side of my foot.

Apparently, though, I also chipped a bone in my tibia, the part where your ankle sticks out. It literally had a point on it for several years, but it's been gradually wearing down, to where now it just has a feeling of being rolled up, instead of smooth like the one on the left.

The frustrating thing about bone spurs is that we really don't know for sure what caused an individual one. But they can gradually dissolve. Like the rough edges of a broken bone that has healed, called a callus, bone spurs, because they ARE not a normal part of the body, can be worn away by the body's normal "clean up" activities.
