[|Human|] Can a wrist bone spur be treated with daily 500 mg calcium intake and 10 min daily sun exposure along with ice application on the spur and intake of turmeric and ginger over a period of say 6-10 months ?If not , if there any other natural removal solution other than the surgical procedures ?
[|AI|]  Thanks for contacting ChatDoctorYour question resolves around a bone spur in your wrist and whether taking natural supplements can make the spur resolve. Bone spurs are natural growths of calcium along bone prominence areas. I see these spurs and I counsel my patient to try anti-inflammatories to reduce the pain. There are no medications or natural remedies that help dissolve the spur. Sometimes if the spur reduces the range of motion or cause significant pain then surgery to remove the spur is suggested. Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with your questions.
