The painful bump on the side of your feet

A painful, bony bump on the side of your foot near the big toe is likely a bunion, a condition known as hallux valgus. It occurs when the big toe leans toward the second toe, causing the joint to jut outward, which can lead to pain, inflammation, and limited mobility.

Bunions can be caused by genetics, ill-fitting shoes, arthritis, or foot injuries. Wearing tight or narrow shoes, especially high heels, worsens the condition. Symptoms include a visible bump, pain, swelling, restricted toe movement, and corns or calluses.

Treatment includes wearing shoes with wide toe boxes, using bunion pads or orthotics, and practicing foot exercises. Pain can be managed with over-the-counter medication and ice. In severe cases, corticosteroid injections or surgery may be necessary. Preventing bunions involves wearing properly fitting shoes, supporting your feet, and maintaining a healthy weight.
