What are the symptoms of bone spurs and bone hyperplasia

Bone spurs and bone hyperplasia are a relatively common disease, especially in middle-aged and elderly people, who are easily affected by this disease. Common manifestations are cervical bone spurs and lumbar bone spurs. Some people will experience numbness of the fingers, as well as soreness, swelling, and fatigue in the lumbar spine.

1. Symptoms of cervical bone spurs

Clinical manifestations: A stiff feeling in the neck, limited movement, snapping sounds when the neck moves, pain often radiating to the shoulders and upper limbs, numbness and electric shock-like sensations in the hands and fingers, which may be aggravated by neck movement. Different lesions affect different parts of the body and cause different symptoms, which can lead to paralysis in the late stages. Severe cervical spondylosis can also cause cervical spondylosis hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, gastritis, angina pectoris, dysphagia, etc.

2. Symptoms of lumbar bone spur

Clinical manifestations: The most common sites of disease are L3 and L4. Clinically, symptoms such as soreness, distension, stiffness, fatigue in the lumbar spine and lumbar soft tissues, and even limited bending ability are common. If the adjacent nerve roots are compressed, it may cause corresponding symptoms, such as local pain, stiffness, posterior root neuralgia, numbness, etc. Compression of the sciatic nerve can cause sciatica, which can cause severe numbness, burning pain, cramping pain, and stringy pain in the affected limb, radiating to the entire lower limb.

3. Symptoms of knee bone hyperplasia

Clinical manifestations: In the early stage, the knee pain is not serious in patients with slow onset, and there is persistent dull pain. The pain worsens when the temperature drops, which is related to climate change. The knee joints are painful and stiff when starting to move after getting up in the morning, walking for a long time, doing strenuous exercise, or standing up from sitting for a long time. The pain improves after a little activity. Going up and down stairs is difficult, and the knee joints become weak when going downstairs, making it easy to fall. There is pain and stiffness when squatting. In severe cases, there is soreness and swelling in the joints, and the patient walks with limp. Those with rheumatic disease have red and swollen joints, deformities, limited functions, and snapping sounds when extending and flexing. Some patients may have joint effusion and obvious local swelling and compression.

4. Symptoms of heel spurs

Clinical manifestations: The symptoms are tenderness at the heel and pain in the sole of the foot, which is worse in the morning and lighter in the afternoon. The first step when getting up and walking on the ground is unbearable and sometimes lighter and sometimes heavier. The patient is afraid to use the heel when walking and has a feeling of stone and needles. The symptoms are relieved after activities. Bone spurs grow in the heel area, which is more common in middle-aged and elderly people.
