A bunion is often defined as a bump on the side of the big toe. The visible bump actually replicates changes in the bony framework of the front part of the foot. The big toe starts to lean towards the second toe, rather than pointing straight ahead. This throws the bones out of position – producing the bunion’s “bump.
Bunions are an advanced disorder. They begin with a curving of the big toe and gradually altering the angle of the bones over the years and slowly creating the distinguishing bump, which becomes gradually protruding. Symptoms usually appear at later stages, although some people never have symptoms.
Here is some more information about Bunions and a unique and effective way to get rid of those painful bunions.
1 How do they occur?
Bunions are mostly caused by a hereditary fault in mechanical assembly of the foot. It is not the bunion itself that is inherited, but some kind of foot types that make a person susceptible to developing a bunion.
Though wearing shoes that pack the toes won’t really cause bunions, it sometimes makes the malformation get increasingly worse. Symptoms may therefore appear sooner.
If you are feeling some discomfort in your big toe, you can be developing bunions. Here are some symptoms, which occur at the site of the bunion. The symptoms are pain or soreness in the big toe, inflammation and redness of the big toe, especially on the side of the toe. Sometimes people can also experience a burning sensation and that could very well lead to possible numbness in the toe.
Indications occur most often when trying on shoes that crowd the toes, like shoes with a tight toe box or high heels. This may also tell us why women are more expected to have symptoms than men. Also spending long phases of time on your feet can worsen the symptoms of bunions.
