A member asked:

Is it possible that wearing tight shoes caused me to get fluid filled bunions on my feet?

Possibly: A bunion is a bone deformity which is caused mainly by inheriting a foot type which then leads to the development of a bunion deformity which is a change in the angles of the bones of the big toe joint causing the bones to stick out. However, shoes can irritate a bunion deformity and you may develop a bursitis over the bony prominence or bunion. The bursitis is an inflamed fluid filled sac.
