What is a bunion and where do they come from?

Posted on 25th April 2018 at 15:08

Ok so we hear about bunions a lot, most people think only women get them or only old people or we inherit them from our granny.

But what are they, why do we get them and what can we do about them?

This is a picture of my bunion. Yes, even podiatrists get them.

Mine is not big or painful and mainly this is because of how I manage it and I will go into detail on that later.

A bunion is a bony prominence on the side of the foot at the base of the big toe.

There is always a cause for this and if the cause is treated early enough then the bunion can be prevented, or its progress delayed.

Women and Feet

I bet the average man thinks that women moan about their feet more than men do and maybe they’d be right.

But this is not just because we love our heels or the straps always seem to be in the wrong place.

No – as if it’s not bad enough that we are a rollercoaster of hormones on a monthly basis with the ability to grow, carry and pop out babies.

Now, added to this we can expect to live more than a third of our lives post menopausally!!!

Joy of joys.
