Are you experiencing pain around the joint at the base of your big toe and noticing a bump? You might have developed a bunion. While its severity can vary, simple lifestyle habits such as altering the shoes you wear can improve the condition. 

A bunion, also known as Hallux Valgus, is a bony protrusion that forms on the joint at the base of the big toe, causing the big toe to angle towards the smaller toes.
