Location?: It depends on the location of the bone spurs. If you are referring to heel spurs, then the treatments are very conservative for over 6 months before surgery becomes part of the discussion. Spurring anywhere else on the foot or ankle can be discussed surgically if there is associated pain.

Bone spurs: This is a difficult question to answer without more exact info. I am assuming you have metatarsal bones that are bulging against the bottom of the foot, causing pain and possible painful callus/corn formation. Treatments include orthotic devices to reduce the abnormal pressures or surgery to improve the weightbearing balance amongst the bones. Recovery from that is usually a few weeks.
