For a tarsal boss bone spur, if its minor and doesnt cause any pain or limit movement, is there any need to have it removed?

Bone spurs: are generally only considered a problem if they cause symptoms, and are usually left alone if they don't cause any pain or limitation of movement. Hope this helps!
