Its not uncommon to get a bone spur in your knee or shoulder, and other places as well . They can mean that you are at risk of arthritis and the first treatment is exactly what you are doing. Rest and ice.If that doesnt help then a steroid injection can be given by your GP. As a last resort you can be referred to an orthopaedic surgeon who may consider reducing the spur via an arthroscopy. Its worth concentrating on the rest and ice if you are in UK. The waiting lists for orthopaedic surgery are very long at the moment.
