Take a close look at your foot. Does your big toe lean toward your second toe, rather than pointing straight ahead. Can you see a bump on the side of your big toe? Looks like you are suffering from Bunion.
Bunion is a very common progressive disorder where the big toe leans on the second toe. This throws the bones in the toe out of the alignment and slowly producing a characteristic bump which becomes increasingly prominent over the years.
Causes
Symptoms
Some people never have any symptoms. While some may show symptoms like pain or soreness, numbness, inflammation, redness and burning sensation at the later stages of the Bunion.
Treatment
In severely painful cases, surgery would prove to be the best treatment. The doctor would correct your bone deformity and soft tissue changes that might have occurred.
