What symptoms do bunions eventually give you?

Pain: Bunions can lead to pain and deformity of the foot leading to difficulty wearing shoes and difficulty in walking.

Pain: Bunions make the forefoot wider, making it difficult to find shoes that fit properly. Eventually shoe pressure will cause bursitis (inflammation of the soft tissue) or neuritis (inflammation of the nerve) in the area, making it painful to walk. Orthotics can help slow the development of bunions, although once the foot becomes chronically painful, surgery is usually required for relief.

Many possibilities: Possible causes that patients may experience pain due to a bunion include pressure from ill fitting shoes, joint arthritis, inflammation of the joint capsule or bursa, abnormality of joint alignment, and nerve damage.
