Hello,

Bone spurs (extra bits of bone, which feel like hard lumps, that form around the affected joint) are unfortunately a symptom of osteoarthritis that many people are impacted by.

Do you get bone spurs? If so, where?

I have got one on my left hip and cannot use it to climb the stairs now. My gp is hopeless never even sent me for an x ray. had arthritis for over 10 years was due for a hip replacement then got breast cancer in 2010 and with the tablets have been in agony since and now got hypercalceamia. Never go out anywhere as both hips occasionally just give way without notice.
