For bunions, if the sessemain bone in the foot is out of place is it true that the big toe bends towards it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sasamoid: Yes , as a bunion forms the lateral deviation of the big toe follows the lateral movement of the sesamoid complex.

Hi! I am wondering what is on the side of my foot. It feels like a bone and it is swollen. Maybe a tailors bunion? Do they keep growing? Thanks!
