Bone spurs can develop in your shoulder joint due to aging or after an injury. These spurs can cause significant pain and limit movement by damaging tendons that move your shoulder. If this damage is severe or your pain cannot be relieved with conservative treatment, you may need surgery.

Bone spurs can literally become a “pain in the neck.” Conditions such as poor posture and arthritis can lead to the formation of bony growths on the edges of bones, ligaments and joints. Bone spurs develop gradually over time, eventually causing soreness and restricting neck movement.
