I had an xray which showed calcaneal spur fracture at the back of my heal what is best treatment?

Calcaneal spur : Treatment for this condition consists of a cam walking boot for 6 weeks. If the pain does not subside then you may need surgical excision.

Many choices: I would start with immobilization, but if the spur is truly fractured then surgery may be needed.
