Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Bone spur can cause muscle irritation and muscular pain.
So better to avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Start painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs. Apply warm water pad on affected site.
If you are not improving by all these then you need surgical removal of this bone spur.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
