Top 5 Signs You May Have a Bunion

A bunion, also known as hallux valgus is a bony bump that forms on the side of the big toe. We also can have a bunion on the outside of the little toe known as a bunionette. Bunions can make walking extremely uncomfortable and tend to get larger over time if left untreated. Over time, the discomfort of dealing with this issue can have a severe effect on your daily activities.
