is there any possible way that using goodnight bunion could only make my bunion worse?

Question

How do I stop bunions from getting worse?

Answer 1

Unlikely: Unlikely unless you are not using it like it should be used.

Answer 2

Bunion: No

Answer 3

NO, BUT......: It won't make it worse, but the deformity could progress in spite of using the splint. That would make you think the splint made it worse, but it would have developed, splint or not.

Answer 4

Let me see below: A bunion is an irregular bony prominence (a bump) on the joint where your big toe meets the main bones of your foot. The bunion causes the end of the big toe to bend toward the other toes and crowd them, while the bone at the base of the toe where it meets the foot moves outward beyond the normal limits of where the bone should be.

Answer 5

Bump at the big toe: A bunion refers to the bump on the inside of the big toe joint. This usually results from hallux valgus, a deformity of the big toe joint where the midfoot bone (metatarsal) points in towards the middle of the body and the toe points out toward the 5th toe. That position of the bones creates a prominence on the inside of the foot that is the bunion.

Answer 6

Bump : A bunion is a progressive disorder that is often described as a bump on the side of the big toe joint which may become painful. The visible bump actually reflects changes in the framework of that joint and possibly adjacent joints. In later stages, the big toe may lean towards the second toe which throws the bones out of alignment – producing the bunion’s “bump” which may lead to pain.

Answer 7

Shoes: Most commonly womens shoes are the culprit. But sometimes children get the condition which would be called a juvenile bunion.

Answer 8

1: Bunions or what is medically termed "hallux abduco valgus" typically is hereditary but can be influenced by shoewear. It is very difficult to prevent the occurence of bunions but you can slow down the progress by wearing shoes that are properly fitting and avoid tight pointed shoes. Bunions do not improve once they start and surgey is the only way to correct the deformity.

Answer 9

Many: Often time the chances of bunions are as close as your family. Tight shoes can increase the chance, or injury may help cause the deformity.

Answer 10

Genetics: Bunions are secondary to foot type and function. You are usually not born with bunions, but are born with a foot type that leads to the deformity. It is a progressive deformity. Good shoes with support can slow down the process and poor shoes can speed up and/or aggravate the problem. See your podiatrist for an evaluation. Dr l.

Answer 11

Family: The apple doesnt fall far from the tree ! bunions are a family trait aggrevated by ill-fitting shoes....

Answer 12

Mostly hereditary.: Bunions are not generally caused by poor-fittign shoes, however, once you have bunions, shoes can increase the deformity and/or make them more painful.

Answer 13

Parents: The tendency toward bunions has strong hereditary influences. Instability and pronation of the feet also contributes. Shoes are often blamed, but unless they are extremely short or tight, i don't feel they contribute significantly. Of course you should wear sensible shoes and support feet with orthotics as needed, but you can't change heredity.

Answer 14

Many contributors: Bunions may result from a variety of reasons such as genetics, trauma, biomechanical abnormalities, or as a result of narrow shoe gear.

Answer 15

Wear wide toebox sho: Wear wide toebox shoes.

Answer 16

Yes: Use comfortable shoes with wide and deep toe boxes.

Answer 17

You can only slow it: Bunions are progressive deformities. Unfortunately, they only get worse, they don't get better. You can improve symptoms and slow down the progression with good shoes and supports. Improving the function of the foot will decrease the wear and tear. See your foot specialist for more information. Dr l.

Answer 18

Many possibilities: Treatment options for the management of bunions include conservative and surgical management. Conservative management options include use of orthotic devices, change in shoe wear, medications such as oral no-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids), steroid injections, padding of corns and calluses, and splinting and strapping.

Answer 19

Yes: The simple answer is yes. Bunions can be considered as a type of arthritis (due to the joint destruction from malalignment and bony prominence which develops against the shoe). Similar arthritic pain (bone spurs, cartilage destruction, etc) can be found on the top or inside of the joint (where a bunion usually forms on the outer portion). You should have it evaluated. Look up hallux limitus.

Answer 20

See your physion: May be you have poorly fitted tight shoes, or bony abnormality of your feet see your dpm.

Answer 21

More Information: I am not exactly sure what you are describing. Where are your symptoms and what are they exactly?

Answer 22

Bunions: There are no 'pills or medicines' for bunions, they occur due to abnormal pull if muscles.They may gradually become 'bigger' but if they don't cause any problems, they can be just watched. If they are painful, there are other options, surgery being one. If you need surgery you should see an orthopedic surgeon md who specializes in foot and ankle surgery.

Answer 23

Good shoes: Well fitted shoes.

Answer 24

Antiinflammatories : Antiinflammatories and ice can help along with good, comfortable shoes. These treatments only treat the symptoms. Surgical correction is necessary to address the structural deformity. Discuss with your foot surgeon to see what options are best for your particular situation. Dr l.

Answer 25

Treatment options: Treatment options for the management of bunions include conservative and surgical management. Conservative management options include use of orthotic devices, change in shoe wear, medications such as oral no-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids), steroid injections, padding of corns and calluses, and splinting and strapping.
