An update.... I decided to go ahead with bone spur removal, and it has been "shaved" as stated by the consultant (yesterday). I am now waiting for bandages to be be removed before seeing a physio after a week.

Thanks to everyone that has commented on my condition.

If any one has any further advice as to limiting the re-occurrence of the bone spur (at this critical juncture), I would very much appreciate the help.

I will post my results and progress shortly. Many thanks.
