Bone spurs (osteophytes) are bony projections that form along the joint surface, due to increased damage to the joint from arthritic conditions. Bone spurs may occur on the spine as a result of the natural aging process and degenerative disease. Approximately forty-two percent of the individuals who have spinal bone spurs will suffer from pain as a result of the spur. Additionally, bone spurs may occur on the fingers, toes, heels, and feet as well. Bone spurs are usually indicative of an underlying medical condition such as arthritis. In fact, bone spur formation may even be indicative of the severity of the arthritic condition. Treatment options for bone spurs are limited and generally involve the surgical removal of the spurs. Can you win social security disability or SSI disability benefits on the basis of bone spurs?
