“Can heel spur go away on its own?”
I have a heel spur. Can heel spur go away on its own?

Whether or not a heel spur can go away on its own is determined by what caused your heel spur.
Heel pain can go away. The heel spur will always be present unless of it is surgically removed. Arch supports, stretching exercises and other modalities can be beneficial in reducing pain. Jonathan M. Kletz, DPM Texas Foot WorksDallas, Athens and Gun Barrel City Texas214-340-8885

Hi! Heel spurs do not go away but the causes of the pain can improve with time.
No
A 'spur' will never go away without surgery. But there are treatments which can alleviate the pain from the underlying issue, whether it is a problem with the Achilles tendon or the plantar fascia. So they can be treated.
The answer is "no", heel spur do not go away on their own, and most of the time, it gets bigger over time. please consult podiatrist on the options of treatment.
Heel spurs will only be removed by surgery. The pain is not usually from the heel spur. I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle specialist (podiatrist) for diagnosis and treatment options
