Ganglion cyst and heel spurs any connection?

Specializes in Hand Surgery

Maybe: If the ganglion is in the heel area it is probably related. If the ganglion is in your wrist or somewhere else, it is unlikely to be related.

Dr Stevens and another doctor agreed

Usually not: Ganglions in heel are extremely rare. I have seen bursa with heel spur but ban only tell on mri.
