Seek examination: It would be best to see your podiatrist or foot and ankle orthopedist to confirm that you have a bunion. As for bone spurring that can be diagnosed clinically but confirmed via x-ray and may or may not be associated with a bunion.

Xray: An xray is the best way to know if you have a bone spur and it can also evaluate for a bunion. A bunion is not just an enlargement of bone on the side of the foot but it is a complex change in the shape of your big toe joint that causes the growth of bone. I recommend you see a podiatrist for further evaluation with xrays. There are many excellent podiatrists here in the great state of texas!
