 [ Symptoms ] do steroids help or hurt bone spurs  i have a bone spur on my wrist i am also being treated for tendonitis in the same spot i am getting a steroid treatment on that spot it looks to me that the bone spur has grown is it possible the steroid treatment has made it grow [ Disease ] the only definitive treatment for a persistent bone spur would be surgery or at least a custom made orthotic from a podiatrist i am not sure what kind of steroids you are using injections  but they will not cure a bone spurt steroid injections can help the inflammation caused by the bone spurs but the effect is only temporary steroids will not make a bone spur grow
