6. Heat Radiating from the Area
Heat near the area is another symptom that’ll arise due to your body’s immune response. Specifically, you might feel the location of the bone spur and notice that it feels hot to the touch.
This symptom is part of inflammation. In particular, it comes from the increased blood flow to the area that delivers oxygen and certain white blood cells for healing. This heat is from your body fighting to heal the injury.
