A bunion is a boney bump that forms on the big toe when there is constant pressure on the toe caused by tight shoes, stress of the joint, or arthritis. Depending on the severity of the bunion your practitioner may treat it a variety of ways. Sometimes OTC anti-inflammatory medications can be used to reduce pain caused by the inflamed joint. A patient could also consider changing their shoes, using padding in their footwear, shoe inserts, or applying ice to the area after walking all day. For people with chronic bunions, a surgical procedure may be your only option for relief.
