Is it possible to have a heel spur without plantar fasciitis?

Plantar Fasciitis hallmark sign is inflammation caused by overuse or tight calf muscle while for heel spur it is hardening and bruising at the edge of your heel bone due to calcium deposits. For PF you feel dull pain followed by sharp pain under the foot while for heel spur the jabbing pain is localized at the heel.
