Bone spurs do not hurt anything unless they are rubbing up against something and irritating it.. In which case she may need it to be removed (which is a very simple procedure unless it's in a very difficult location). As for the cysts.. They aren't life threatening or anything, but if they are causing her discomfort you will want to keep an eye on it. Cysts are common and can pop up anywhere. I have two in my left leg (in the bone) and one in my wrist, but since they dont' bother me much I never had anything done about them. Depending on where they are, the doctor may be able to remove them. If it's giving her that much discomfort, discuss the options with her doctor. They would know better as to if they can remove them.
