A member asked:

Sir, what should the person with back spur do to overcome the pain and cure it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Spur: If there is a spur of the vertebra impinging a nerve root, an injection of a corticosteroid medication at the spur level may help. A specialist in spinal disorders or in pain management would be helpful for both diagnosis and treatment.
