BUNION PAIN?
Tuesday, October 24th at 7pm
Are you experiencing pain and discomfort due to a bunion? This deformity affects the joint at the base of the big toe. A bunion may start small, but over time it can grow to become very large and painful. Nearly 1/3 of Americans have them. Learn more about bunions and the newest minimally invasive treatment options from Amy Jo Ptaszek, MD.
Bunion symptoms include:
- A bony bump or protrusion on the outside of the big toe joint
- Pain and swelling around the big toe joint
- Callus formation where the big toe rubs against the next toe
- Reduced mobility in the big toe
