Signs And Symptoms Of Bunions

Swelling And Redness

Another common sign of bunions is swelling and redness around the big toe. If patients have a bunionette, this swelling will be concentrated around the little toe. Patients might notice these symptoms if they have been wearing ill-fitting shoes or restrictive high heels. Ill-fitting shoes can cause quite a few problems with the foot. If the shoes are too small or narrow, they can cause multiple toe issues including bunions. Another risk factor is rheumatoid arthritis, which is an inflammatory condition that may make patients more susceptible to abnormalities of the skeletal structure. Patients might notice swelling before a bunion fully develops, which is often a sign they need to get better-fitting shoes. If patients need advice on the best shoes to buy, they should talk to their primary doctor or a foot specialist.
