You should see a Sport Medicine/Orthopaedic/GP doctor, who can perform an X-ray an examination to determine the cause of the discomfort.
Your doctor will also test your joint manually to see how much motion loss and discomfort you have.
Bone spurs often form after an injury to your joint or tendon. It can also occur due to overuse – for example, if you run or dance a lot over a long period of time.
When your body thinks your bone is damaged, it tries to fix it by adding bone to the injured area. This creates bone spurs. Treatments for bone spurs include the following:
Physical therapy: Physical therapy can help relieve symptoms of bone spurs. Exercise helps improve motion and strengthen muscles around the affected joints. Physical therapy can also include ice packs, stretching, massage, and ultrasound treatments.
Pain medications: If bone spurs cause pain and inflammation, your doctor may recommend over-the-counter pain. Another pain relief medication may include a cortisone injection into the damaged joint.
Surgery: If bone spurs press on nerves and cause serious pain, or if they limit motion, you may need surgery to remove them.
