Common Bunion Symptoms
Bunions are a bony bump that forms on the side of the big toe. This condition occurs when the big toe begins to push against the other toes instead of pointing straight. The joint of the big toe begins to enlarge and the big toe crowds the other toes causing pain and discomfort.
Bunions can occur for several reasons. Some bunions occur because of the shape of the foot that was inherited. Foot injuries and arthritis can also cause bunions to occur. Symptoms of bunions may include:
- Swelling and redness around the joint of the big toe
- Protruding bump on the base of the big toe joint
- Thickened skin at the big toe joint
- Movement of the big toe becomes restricted
- Foot Pain
- Calluses on the other toes
If left untreated, bunions can push the other toes out of position, potentially resulting in another condition known as hammertoe. Pain from bunions can be severe enough to keep you from walking comfortably.
Bunion Treatment
Depending on the length of time the bunion has been in place will affect the course of action in your foot treatment. In most cases, bunion treatment may consist of several nonsurgical approaches to alleviating pain. Some nonsurgical approaches may include:
- Wearing properly fitting shoes
- Orthotics
- Inserts
- Padding
- Taping toes
- Medication for pain and swelling
If the bunion condition is severe enough and nonsurgical options are not responsive.
