Bunions WHAT A BUNION IS Bunions are bony, lumpy deformities of the joints at the base of the big toe. A bunion looks like a bump on the side of the big toe. It comes as a result of an abnormality of the foot bones.

WHAT CAUSES BUNIONS Inherited foot type Foot injuries Uncomfortable footwear Deformities present at birth

OCCURS AT THE JOINT The exact spot where your toe bends during regular walking. With a bunion present, your body weight rests on the bunion itself which can be very painful. They are very vulnerable to pressure from shoes.

SYMPTOMS OF BUNIONS A bump on the side of your big toe The inflamed and red skin on the side of your big toe Your big toe visibly turning toward your other toes Calluses on your second toe

BUNION DIAGNOSIS Many of the signs are visible ones so in most cases, a doctor can diagnose a bunion through simple visible inspection. During the exam, the doctor usually asks you to move your toe back and forth to inspect any possible limited movement.
