Q: What is a bunion?
A: A bunion is a painful bony prominence behind the big toe. It is the result of a gradual change in position of the big toe and the bone behind it. Bunions become painful when they rub in shoes and when walking. Treatment of bunions include padding, wider shoes, or surgery to correct the deformity.
