Could Diprophos Injection Trigger The Irritation Of The Bone Spur?

I had an diprophos injection in my right heel for pain there after it didn t go away by taking anti-inflammatory pills. Now I have pain around my fibula where I also have a bone spur. The x-ray showed the bone spur and the doctor said it looked like it s been there for a some time now. I ve never had severe problems though. Could the diprophos have triggered that irritation of the bone spur?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Bone spurs are commonly caused in the areas of inflammation & injury. Tendonitis or OA. Betamethasone may cause delayed healing, low potassium levels may cause dryness of skin, cramps & muscle pain. Diabetes is a risk of developing OA & bone spurs.

Keep blood glucose under control at all cost. These trigger the discomfort due to bone spur.

You are suggested to get clinically examined by an orthopedics. You may need steroid injections(cortisone). Get treated at the earliest.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
