3. Noticeable Bump
A heel spur can cause a bump. When it’s smaller, you may not notice the protrusion. Over time, though, it tends to enlarge.
Generally, the bump is on the underside of your heel bone and may vary in terms of size. You may visibly see a bump in the area. On the other hand, you can sometimes feel a small lump when you rub those particular areas of your foot.
