A member asked:
Broke all the bones between my toes and ankles 21 yrs ago. i have a spot on the top inner side of my foot that protrudes. can the bone be shaved down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely: Obviously an xray with a foot surgeon would be in order. The assumption that it is a bone spur of some sort may or may not be correct.
