Bunions are often described as a bump on the side of the great toe joint. But a bunion is more than that. This visible bony prominence actually reflects changes in the framework in the front of the foot. With a bunion the big toe leans toward the second toe rather than point straight ahead thus causing the bones to become out of alignment. This produces the bunion deformity.
What causes a bunion? Bunions are most often caused by an inherited faulty mechanical structure of the foot, most commonly over flattening of the arch. Although wearing tight fitting shoes can make the condition worse, (like Posh Spice is typically seen in), it cannot actually cause the deformity.
Bunion pain most commonly occurs when wearing shoes that crowd the toes. This may explain why women are more likely to have symptoms than men. Symptoms of bunion pain include inflammation or soreness around the great toe joint (most commonly while wearing shoes), numbness and tingling, and even early arthritis pain. Other conditions which may appear with bunions include: calluses on the side of the great toe, sores between the first and second toe and ingrown toenails.
Bunions are common and can be easily recognized. If bunion pain progresses you should follow up with a podiatric foot and ankle surgeon to further evaluate the condition. X-rays are usually taken and reviewed during the time of the office appointment.
At Atlantic Podiatry Associates in Palm Coast, conservative therapy is always recommended during initial bunion pain. This includes wearing non-irritating shoe gear, icing, anti-inflammatories, padding and a possible cortisone injection. If the condition worsens surgical treatment may be necessary. Victoria Beckham’s bunions have reportedly gotten so bad that she’s getting ready for a bunionectomy. This is performed as an outpatient surgery and the procedure may vary depending on the severity of the bunion.
