[…] The symptoms of a bunion include: A bulging bump on the outside of the base of the big toe. Swelling, a change in color or soreness around the big toe joint. Corns or calluses these often form where the first and second toes rub against each other. Ongoing pain or pain that comes and goes. Stiffness or limited movement of the big toe, which could lead to trouble walking. Hard skin on the sole of the foot. […] Bunions often don’t need medical treatment. But some symptoms should be checked by a member of your health care team. Or you could see a doctor who treats foot conditions, called a podiatrist, or an orthopedic foot specialist.

  Bunions are a progressive disorder. They begin with a leaning of the big toe, gradually changing the angle of the bones over the years and slowly producing the characteristic bump, which becomes increasingly prominent. Symptoms usually appear at later stages, although some people never have symptoms. […] Because bunions are progressive, they do not go away and will usually get worse over time.

[…] Symptoms, which occur at the site of the bunion, may include: Pain or soreness, Inflammation and redness, A burning sensation, Possible numbness.

  A bunion refers to a bony bump at the base of the big toe. The most common form of bunion, hallux valgus, is formed by a change in the alignment of the bones and not from bony growth. […] A small bump is common and may be part of the normal foot shape. With a bunion deformity, the bones around the great toe have shifted and the metatarsal bone is now pushing out against the skin, creating a more prominent and sometime painful bony bump.

  If you’re noticing a bony bump at the base of your big toe that seems to be growing larger, you may be experiencing the beginnings of a bunion. This common foot deformity affects millions of Americans, causing discomfort, pain, and even difficulty walking. […] Bunions typically develop gradually, progressing through three distinct stages: […] In the early stages, you may notice a slight bump forming at the base of your big toe. Your toe may start to lean towards the second toe, but you likely won’t experience significant pain or discomfort. […] As the bunion progresses, the bony prominence becomes more noticeable. Your big toe may begin to overlap with the second toe, causing friction and irritation. You may experience pain when wearing certain shoes or during physical activity. […] In advanced cases, the bunion becomes significantly enlarged, pushing the big toe further out of alignment. You may develop painful calluses, experience chronic inflammation, and have difficulty finding comfortable shoes. Walking and standing can become increasingly painful.

• #7 How To Treat The 4 Stages Of Bunions – Thomas A. McDonald, MD, FAAOS

  https://orthobootsmd.com/how-to-treat-the-4-stages-of-bunions/

  Bunions are a slow-developing condition that occur as your big toe joint slowly shifts out of its natural alignment. Oftentimes caused or exacerbated by poor-fitting shoes, arthritic degeneration or unlucky genetics, bunions tend to progress through different stages on their way to significant joint displacement. […] It’s important to remember that once your big toe joint has begun to shift out of place, there is no conservative treatment that will restore your joint to perfect positioning. […] Stage 1 (Initial Misalignment) – The first stage in bunion progression is aptly named stage 1, and physical symptoms like pain, discomfort or swelling are typically absent. […] Stage 2 (Mild Misalignment) – In stage 2, a visible misalignment of the toe can usually be seen by the naked eye, but that doesn’t mean physical symptoms are present yet, so many in this stage still choose to ignore the problem.

[…] The most noticeable bunion symptom is a hard bump at the base of your toe. This bump isn’t movable and doesn’t hurt in the early stages. […] However, as the bump grows, the toe pushes even farther inward toward the other toes, causing a deformity of the toes. […] In more advanced stages, bunions can become sensitive and painful. The pain may worsen when you wear tight shoes or after you spend a lot of time on your feet. Rest, ice packs, and massages may help relieve these symptoms. […] Early diagnosis and effective treatment can reduce symptoms and prevent the illness from worsening.

This can make it difficult to move the big toe and may cause discomfort or pain when trying to do so. […] Restricted movement of the big toe can also affect your balance and stability, making it more difficult to walk or engage in physical activities.

• #12 Bunions – OrthoInfo – American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons

  https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/diseases–conditions/bunions/

  A bunion is a painful bony bump that develops on the inside of the foot at the big toe joint. Bunions usually develop slowly. Pressure on the big toe joint causes the big toe to lean toward the second toe. Over time, the normal position of the bone, tendons, and ligaments changes, resulting in the bunion deformity. Often, this deformity gradually worsens over time and may make it painful to wear shoes or walk. […] Bunions start out small, but they often get worse over time. Because the MTP joint flexes with every step, the bigger the bunion gets, the more painful and difficult walking can become. […] An advanced bunion can greatly alter the appearance of the foot. In severe bunions, the big toe may angle all the way under or over the second toe. Pressure from the big toe may force the second toe out of alignment, causing it to come in contact with the third toe. This can result in hammer toe deformities of the smaller toes. Calluses may also develop where the toes rub against each other, causing additional discomfort and difficulty walking.

It may also lead to chronic pain and arthritis if the smooth articular cartilage that covers the joint becomes damaged from the joint not gliding smoothly. […] In addition to the visible bump on the inside of the foot, symptoms of a bunion may include: Pain and tenderness, Redness and inflammation, Hardened skin on the bottom of the foot, A callus or corn on the bump, Stiffness and restricted motion in the big toe, which may lead to difficulty walking.

• #15 Bunions: Causes, Symptoms, and Diagnosis

  https://www.healthline.com/health/bunions

[…] The pain associated with a bunion might make it difficult to walk. […] An untreated bunion can cause irritation to the fluid-filled sac that cushions the joint, called the bursa.

[…] Contact your doctor if a bunion is making it difficult to walk or put your shoes on.

• #16 What to Do about Bunions – Harvard Health Publishing – Harvard Health

  https://www.health.harvard.edu/diseases-and-conditions/what-to-do-about-bunions

  A bunion is a deformity of the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint at the base of the big toe. A bunion develops when the first metatarsal bone of the foot turns outward and the big toe points inward (toward the other toes), causing the joint to jut out. Eventually, the bursa (a fluid-filled sac that surrounds and cushions the joint) becomes inflamed, and the entire joint becomes stiff and painful. […] A bunion at this critical junction of bones, tendons, and ligaments can seriously impair the foot’s functioning. For one thing, a bunion on the big toe can damage the other toes. Under the pressure of the big toe, they may develop corns or become bent, forming hammertoes. […] If you constantly shift your weight off the painful big toe joint to other metatarsals, you may develop discomfort in the ball of the foot. As the misshapen joint becomes more uncomfortable and harder to fit into shoes, you may have to curtail exercise and other activities. Even walking may become difficult. […] Older women are more likely to have bunions as they get older, and the more severe their bunions are, the lower their quality of life is. You should seek treatment if the pain and deformity interfere with daily routines and physical activity.
