2. Decreased Range of Motion in Ankle
A decreased range of motion doesn’t stem from a heel spur itself. Instead, this heel spur symptom arises from Achilles tendinitis. This condition develops over time. Therefore, you won’t notice a change in the flexibility in your ankle at first.
However, as Achilles tendinitis worsens, it can start to affect the range of motion in your ankle. Age often plays a role in the worsening of Achilles tendinitis and can also reduce your ankle’s range of motion.
