Bone spurs can continue to grow, but the speed and size of the growth varies depending on the location and underlying causes of the spur. In certain circumstances, they may naturally cease growing and even begin to recede with time if left untreated.
But if the underlying ailment that gave rise to the bone spur, like arthritis or a tendon injury, persists, the spur can keep expanding. Additionally, continued strain or pressure on a joint or bone can cause bone spurs to develop.
Sometimes, bone spurs can enlarge and become more symptomatic, resulting in discomfort, stiffness, and restricted movement.
