Sub-person suffering with 'unwanted' growths? (4,5)

I believe the answer is:

bone spurs

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'unwanted growths?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'sub-person suffering' is the wordplay.
'suffering' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sub'+'person'='subperson'
'subperson' with letters rearranged gives 'BONE SPURS'.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
