Can a bunion make it hard to point your toes?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Bunions : Most bunions occur due to hypermobility in the ligaments holding the first metatarsal. The compensation for this is overuse of the small metatarsals and toes. This may lead to spasm of the muscles in the foot and can decrease the normal muscular activity. So the answer is yes.

Yes: A bunion is a "bump" the first metatarsal frequently deviates medically and the great toe laterally. As a result, the toe is no longer straight. As the big toe deviates it can push up against the second toe causing it to hammer, the adjacent toes can similiarly hammer and the hammer toes may be harder to straighten then when they were not hammered.

Yes.: Having a bunion may limit the mobility of your toe joint.
