A member asked:
Have a spur would like it removed but the dr i saw wasn't prepared to do so only after a round of cortisone
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common: This is a relatively common scenario and a therapeutic trial before surgery is frequently attempted. The surgery is still being considered, is elective, and specifically during a pandemic would be postponed as many medical centers are no longer providing elective surgery, only urgent. Your best reference remains your treating surgeon who should be able to clarify the plan going forward.
