Bunion, Arthritis: Do you remember an old injury to the big toe? This may be a condition called hallux rigidus and/or a bunion. It can be caused by several factors, injury, poor mechanics of the foot, poor footwear, heredity, etc. See a foot specialist (podiatrist) to have it evaluated. You may be treated with better footwear, orthotics or if significant surgery may be recommended
