It was many years ago . Didn’t last long maybe a month .
Careful with that stuff it will eat away at joints so in long run your worse off .

@SW-User Totally agree. However the surgeons always seem to do the least invasive, then work up to the already needed surgery. I mean mine is a no brainer. I have a bone spur and it’s not going to go away by itself. Duh.

Where’s the spur if I may ask? I have a couple in hand joints near baby fingers 😕. @CereBellum

@SW-User It’s in my shoulder. Just keeps on keeping on: growing.

Might have to try a scraping I guess .... hope it works out 💪 @CereBellum

@SW-User Do your hand spurs hurt? Will you have them removed?

SW-User

Only when doing certain tasks they flare up .. I’ll leave them be unless they get really bad . @CereBellum
