Dear Tami:

I'm not as knowledgeable as others on this site but wanted you to have an answer. If I'm wrong, someone correct me and give her better information.

Your symptoms can definitely be the cause of the bone spur. The size sounds quite large and I would, by all means, get a surgical consult to see what your options are. A surgeon may recommend therapy but may recommend you take care of the problem surgically to avoid some of the nerve damage from becoming permanent. Nerves have a memory that will sometimes experience pain even when the situation is resolved. That is what you want to avoid. Some of us are damaged to the point of no return and have to live with it. Don't put it off.

Welcome to the site.
