Twitter: Tyron Smith dealing with bone spur

[IceBowler]

Had a spur .. it HURT like .. well, a lot!

Not in my case.

I wonder where it's located. I just had my heel spur that was under my Achilles, which is the worst spot to have a bone spur, removed because the pain was too much. He's a lot bigger man that I am so I can understand why he wasn't in there. Every time I stepped on my left foot it felt like fire running up my leg. It's been almost a year since having it removed and it's still not right. I don't think it will go away with rest or PT because mine didn't. I'm sure he'll be getting injections from here on out until the season ends.

Well stated bro. Bones spurs pain does not go away with rest. I wonder if the Cowboys should have Tyron have surgery right now to relieve him of some pain and let him heal enough in time for the playoffs?

Depending on case, pain can range from "modest" to "debilitatingly severe".

Take a shot and play. He'll survive

I call BS. Bone spurs don't just appear spontaneously.

We are grateful to you have monitoring the developments inside Mr. Smith's leg.

question is with a bone spur is this something that can improve with extra rest or is it just pain management until surgery?

I forgot who said it and who the player is, but someone said a veteran player just recently had to retire because of his ankle spurs. Hopefully it was because he was just tired of playing football instead something like shaving the spur off from the ankle will damage the ankle and prevent full mobility. If it can be shaved off without missing 2-3 months, I would get it done. He was having a Pro-Bowl year. And I'm not sure getting injections help ease the pain spurs because I wasn't offered any before I had the surgery.

Cortisone shot....it takes away the swelling.

Rest him the next 2 games.

Where’s the spur located?

Heel spurs are almost always associated with plantar fasciitis. That condition sucks, let me tell you. Nowitzki had to shut things down one year for a good part of the season because of that.

It's his ankle.

Thanks Risen.

I love you.

You don’t have to respond.

Duct tape. Its good for what ails you!

 

[JoeyBoy718]

Do you ever have any good news to report?

Carson Wentz is having his best season yet.

 

[Bigdog]

I have had them. They hurt and it is true about pain management

 

[TWOK11]

It’s purely a pain issue and easily fixed in the off-season. As long as he can tolerate the discomfort there is no risk of injury.

 

[ConstantReboot]

That would be unlikely since he's had zero work there since college.

If he is a natural lefty he can make the adjustment. It would be easier for him than right tackle.

 

[Fizziksman]

do they jingle jangle jingle?

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

That means pain management and surgery after the season.

must be trying to avoid any future military draft

 

[jaybird]

It amazes me a guy built like that is so fragile.

Then you have the tub of goo guys who never miss a snap

Seriousely? “Fragile”
How many years has this man been a Rock.?

I don’t know where the bone spur is. But it’s more painful than a break. And harder to heal. I’m not even sure they can do surgery on it . Wrap it and let it hematoma

They open up the area and literally file it down like they do furniture. I heard 2-4 weeks depending on how big the incision is... but apparently it can be done via scope.
