Health advice for bone spurs

Do cold compress with ice cubes on the area to reduce inflammation but if the pain is unbearable then apply a hot water bag or a heating pad on the area.
Take 500 mg to 1000 mg of the yellow pigment of turmeric called curcumin 3 to 4 times everyday on an empty stomach for 5 to 6 weeks.
You can take alternate hot and cold baths or apply a hot pack of flaxseed to the affected area.
Warm some linseed oil and take a piece of cheese cloth. Dip it in the oil and place it on your shoulder. Cover the cloth with a plastic sheet and apply a heating pad for about 2 hours.
Rest as much you can and avoid any strenuous activity.
Avoid flat shoes and wear heeled shoes made of rubber for sometime. Do not walk barefoot on hard surfaces and avoid heavy work out.
Mild yoga exercises will benefit your condition.
Wash your shoulder from arnica or chamomile or wrap them around your shoulders.
Take a balanced supplement of magnesium and calcium.
