I had a smallish but painful bunion - just a small bump on the big toe. It started with a pair of “earth shoes” (you have to be in your 60’s to know what those are) in about 1978. A few years ago I finally decided to get a consult. They told me mine would be solved with a quick and easy surgery, just a bit of trimming the bone. The recovery was lengthy and awful and my big toe has been stiff ever since. I still have to be very careful buying shoes or get pain. Now my big toe is starting to bend toward the others which are crooked. Now the big toe and second toe are meeting and both growing painful bumps which is what brought me here. My reason for sharing this story is to let people know surgery may make things worse rather than better. I have heard this from others as well. Please get multiple consults and talk to lots of people before opting for surgery. Good luck fellow sufferers.
Very informative. Delaying surgery on my painful bunion led to secondary problems with osteophytes on heel, Sural nerve neuroma, and arthritis in the sacro-illiac joint. So the bunion itself may not get much worse if you wait for surgery, but a lot of other problems may be caused because of changes in gait/walking due to bunion pain and how that impacts the mechanics of your entire musculoskeletal system....
This is awful. Over the last 30 odd years I've had 2+3 bunion surgeries on both feet. Morton's neuroma on both feet and I'm currently waiting for surgery to straighten two toes and another neuroma surgery. Sending my regards
I've had a bunion on my left foot since I was about 13 maybe. The ironic thing about this video, is that I barely ever wore shoes at that time, constantly running around barefoot. I've never really known why I had it. Now I'm going to assume it's mostly just genetics for me. Thanks for the info
Someone may make a huge medical breakthrough in bunions prevention. The foot is an incredible engineering marvel, a lifetime of footfalls with incalculable tonnage of use. Some means to realign that first metatarsal for foot health.
Thankyou for talking about hammer toes, many only talk about the bunions. I have a hammer toe on each foot but no pain, it just means shows are difficult to find.
My podiatrist actually said it wouldn't make sense to have surgery on my pretty significant bunions. I was maybe 20. I'm 26 now. I had x-rays done at 14 because they were already bad. I'm still questioning him on this and want to ask other professionals. I don't want them getting worse and worse over the next many more decades.
I am a medically trained provider, actually an optometrist, and I tried to get into medical school, but was turned down. I treated myself with toe spacers and then switched to toe shoes and socks for about two years and I can say I proved you WRONG in many aspects. My dorsal bunion was causing me to have plantar faciitis twice, but now my toes have come back to where my flat feet are no longer flat, my metatarsial pad has shifted, my 20 years of athletic's foot fungus is gone, my hip pain is gone, I can hike mts. much farther and easier, and yes, my great toes are now sprayed out and much straighter. I think you need to invite me to your school as a paid researcher. Richard Jackson, O.D.
Would you be interested in sharing your story with others? I would love to have feedback from real people on my website. . If interested email: shawna.branchcomb@gmail.com and we can discuss the details. Hope to hear from you soon!
Richard Jackson please write a book or post the video on UA-cam to help out suffering patient if your method is successful. If for money, many viewers can make you earn money. But more importantly, you are a health provider, helping people principle must be in your heart.
@@Ebonyides idk if its caused from the hips being unlevel or imbalance from using a cane while recovering but I notice my left knee turning inwards. I'm sure you did rehab. You might try a chiropractor and an exercise bike may help
I have a small bit of gout on one joint and was told by a foot specialist that I don't have a bunion on either foot. My toes are bent in but not very much. That said, the bunion area hurts on both feet and I'm shifting my footwear to be more friendly to my feet and adding toe spacers to my feet in my shoes. I am also doing my own taping to straighten the big toe and gently spacing (a knitted spacer that I created) between my other toes to passively speed up the process of being able to wear the toe spacers longer in my shoes. My feet thank me when I put on toe spacers inside the appropriate shoes and I look forward to the day when I can put them on in the morning and wear them the whole day. Thanks for this informative presentation. Although I may not be able to change the shape of my feet (and then again maybe since they are flexible), I'm looking forward to experience less pain when walking. (Having spacers in my shoes are helping to correct not just toe but other foot mechanics and bringing relief.)
I've got a bunion on my left foot which is definitely inherited (almost everyone on my dad's side of the family plus my brother have deformed bunions) but I also had a childhood injury on my right foot which caused chronic strain and led to a pronounced limp every time it got inflamed. I needed surgery because my bunion bone was tearing out of the flesh!! The skin had already torn due to rubbing against shoes. My surgeon filed the bone and tightened the ligament on the inside with stitches, and loosened the ligament between the big toe and the second to ease the strain. He warned me that the bone would grow back and his main concern was to stop it from getting exposed. It worked and unfortunately he was right about the bone growth returning, but thankfully the ligaments are stronger with no scar tissues. Since then, I've worn night splints (most uncomfortable) and now a silicone toe separator which also has a cover for the bunion. It's mostly painful during the wet season or during winter and the toe separator helps reducing inflammation, plus I can wear it inside the shoe though I mostly wear sandals with a toe stump.
How do the toe extensors get stronger than the toe flexors? When you look at conditions such as foot drop it is always the plantarflexors that seem to overpower the dorsiflexors. Even when you MMT the toes you have more power in flexion vs extension
Thé start of my big toe slightly bulges out and it hurts when I’m wearing certain shoes and I get calices on the bottom of my pinkie toe. It’s not extreme at all, but I want to fix it if I can
Grace I had surgery and would suggest you only do one foot at a time. Recovery is need as it truly takes 2 years before you totally recover since our feet are essential for us. You can get the second one done a few months later. And, I would also suggest investing in slip on shoes a 1/2 size bigger then your normal size because you feet will be swollen for about 6-8 months before you can even start wearing you normal regular shoes again. I purchase inexpensive 1/2 size bigger slip on canvas shoes and worn loose fitting socks to allow for comfort. And, elevation and icing is need for at least 6-8 months as well if you want your feet to recover well. Good Luck. I only got I foot done; really don’t want to get the second one done; if I can avoid it I will.
Very informative. Could you or anyone explain what indications seem a fusion as on that slide? I had bunion surgery on my right foot with a plate placed all that hurts when a shoe runs or is too tight on the top of my foot towards the ankle.
I have a PT who has given me exercises, basically to strengthen the muscles on the inside of the foot. It's pretty specific and easy to focus on the wrong muscles so I would say go to a good PT.
I have a bunion on my right foot. I bought a bunion guard today. So this means I definitely will have to have surgery, or will the profession stop where bunion doesn't get any worse?
Anyone want to sponsor a bunion and hammer toe operation for me please, please, pretty please even lol,, o how I hate my feet and want to wear nice sandals : (
Hi ... I have an idea how to take away the pressure and pain of the bunion as I suffer from right foot bunion pain I’ve came up with an idea 💡 how to stretch the bunion but I need help for someone to build my idea it would take basic tools to make it and if it worked it’s something you could buy very cheap I’ve looked online and there is nothing the same as my idea so if anyone is interested get in touch am happy to share idea
My hammertoe is rotated and has become skinny. It is semi rigid. Foot surgeon said rotated hammertoes are very difficult to correct surgically, and he recommended that I wait until it’s rigid to correct it. This is confusing to me. Why would I wait since every time I push off the toe rotates? I’m wearing correct toes so I can walk without pain. Is there a high rate of failure when correcting a rotated 2nd toe surgically? Thank you.
Well, it looks like I have a bunion on my right foot, no callous though. I don't know if its a bunion or arthritis because I kicked a huge flower pot years ago & I think I broke it. How do I know if its bunion or arthritis? I walked today and it is hurting so bad from joint of toe up front side of foot that I'm thinking of going to ER. I noticed a slight joint deformity about 4 years ago but I don't want it to get worse and I sure don't want the intense pain
Hi I had bunion and hammer toe surgery in the uk the wire got bent and the surgeon pulled the wire out with force I’ve been left with a bent toe and pain
Curious because I have had them shortly after birth. One foot corrected one got worse... my big toe is effectively under my foot. It's at its worst if I so much as get a cut or sweaty feet at work. Infections!
Genetics predispose people to these issues, but they do not mean that you will have these issues. Genetics is not always a done deal; a predisposition to bunions does not mean you will with 100% certainty develop a bunion in your life. It may mean that the foot structure is particularly vulnerable to bunion development due to shoes or habits that we have as Americans
I have great toe and flat foot and its turn extreme and I got to know that its hullux valgus. How I get well from this thing? Another question is what I have to do and what to wear in my foot to walk free of any support.
I just had a bunionectomy, the pain was so nasty at night ,that I opt for surgery,yeah recovery is a b****,but I'm really hoping for at least 30 to 40 %less pain ,and if I can get that I'll be happy,and this well worth it.unfortunately its genetic in my family,and over seen my mom become immobilized due to just living with this bunions her whole life,and that freaked me out really.
I'm to old to have my bunions removed now. But it's getting bad. That I think my feet is moving to the outer side. My shoes don't fit nice. Must I buy me shoes that fit my bunions. Thanks
Did there is anything any surgery so that I get big foot because my foot is very very short according to height though I m not even having a good height but my feet is even shorter it's just look like a kid ......
I have bunion on my right foot. And I don't know if I need to take it away or not because I heard it may get worse through ages. I'm afraid of its operation. Will it be long recovery? Oh gosh... Does it any other way than do surgery?
I have had two bunion surgeries so I get to be that lucky 1/3 and my hammer toe fusion BROKE and I had to go back in and have another surgery on that and get the pin put in the tip of my toe like is shown in the picture. I just got my pin out 4 days ago and now I look like I have a Shrek foot!!! Not to mention I have MORE pain in the hammer toe now than I did prior to the surgery!! DO NOT GET THAT ONE DONE IF YOU CAN AVOID IT!! Trust me or not !
Sorry! Have you tried conservative methods and some of the workouts online? I started with knee cartilage issues and now have bunions.wished I knee about exercise earlier.
Me too, Mama said she turned back my little blanket, There They Were, so they are hereditary, mine came from my Daddy. Rather have had money as a Birthday 🎁 Gift.
Do bunions make you feel stiffness in your legs. I have tired legs for long time and I keep on asking my doctor about the reason. Today I suddenly found about bunions actually contribute to pain. I was actually feeling tired with all shoes and was wondering why and what’s the reason? I was actually looking for really comfortable shoes (had no idea that’s it’s not the shoes but the bunions mainly)
My legs also get tired. Iam 70. I walk through the pain and Ithink it is most important to walk correctly, i.e.heel-toes, and accentuate it. Also try Feldenkreis for feet. I think it has helped me a bit after just one week. Still pain in the ball of foot, though.
Bruh ive had a bunion since i was maybe 9-10? Idk. And i want to get it fixed cause its starting to cause problems.. BUT DIS DARN CORONA GOT ME WAITIN.
Zodiaq I’ve had mine since I was 9-10 too but I got it from dancing so I have it on both my big toes where they bend oddly I’m low key scared to get surgery since I waited so long and im now 18
Why do you say never get a tendon transfer? I lost the second toe on my right foot and the big toe over a 10 year period has tried to fill in that space and critically deformed my foot with a giant bunion. I'm going in for surgery and what ever else it might take to relieve the pain. I'm at the point I can barely walk on it.
I had them since childhood l then boots in the Army made them way worse! Oh, the heels too! 😆 Mom has em. She has to wear wide width shoes. I think we both have flat feet also.
No you're not alone, I had them on both my feet, both parents had them also. I had the first operated on 2002 and the other 2011 excellent results and no more pain.
My second toe curves toward toe 345 at the last joint how can I straighten then toe straighteners are too close to base of foot and will marble pick ups work
Is it possible to be born with bunions? I’ve had a bunion for as long as I can remember. I was born a twin so I wonder if when we were in the womb if my toe got pushed somehow. I jus remember always having a crooked toe & no pain. Just annoying & ugly to look at.
Yes, myself and most of my siblings were born with it. Most of our children were born with them. Got it from my father. We actually look at all the big toes of all the babies born in our family to see if they have my dad's crooked big toe.
Why myself tone stuck up in my shoes👠 and my 5 toe and cross over top each other pinky toe pooping sound crock sound what I sleep in the morning and evening and night
I am having a surgery next month. I have a bunion the next 2 toes are hammer toes which caused by the pressure of the big toe. Any advice or suggestion? Anyone faced that before?
Presentation was helpful, thank you. If I could just suggest limiting how many times you say “uhmmm”. I think there’s over 100 times you say that. Just saying…
This is such crap. "It has been shown in populations that wear shoes ..." Of course that's thee #1 reason. Just look at a babies foot and look at the shoes kids and adults wear. The toes should be the widest part of the shoe but it isn't. People, please check out the Correct Toes website if you want the truth. Wearing Correct Toes has been a game changer. I'm not exaggerating. I thought I had a balance problem but it turns out I had a SHOE problem. This is why I have ZERO trust in conventional medicine.

Hi dear Racen ,how about your bunions now?
I formed bunion since childhood, and only me inherit bunion from mother while my brother and sis dont
Excellent video, Joan. I learned a lot about bunions and hammertoes.

Excellent presentation and very informative. Thank you so much.
I usually wear sandals and shoes with wide toe box, and go barefoot a lot. I do think shoes have a big influence on whether you end up with bunions.
Thank you for all this great information. I appreciate it.
Thank you for this lecture. I inherited mine from my Father. Very painful but I think will work on this information to ease my pain🙏

I noticed my right big toe has a bigger bunion. I haven’t worn high heels that often.I guess I won’t be wearing high heels much any more
Im 14 and have bunions and omg r they so so so sore
Never get a tendon transfer
Why do you say never get a tendon transfer? I lost the second toe on my right foot and the big toe over a 10 year period has tried to fill in that space and critically deformed my foot with a giant bunion. I'm going in for surgery and what ever else it might take to relieve the pain. I'm at the point I can barely walk on it.
My dad has bunions and my brother has them cause genetics but I’m really lucky that I don’t have it
If you don't know the cause, how can you have a solution
I had them since childhood l then boots in the Army made them way worse! Oh, the heels too! 😆
Mom has em. She has to wear wide width shoes. I think we both have flat feet also.
Hi dear friend,nice to meet you .could you contact my email :l16675143533@gmail.com
I am I the only man with a bunion? And no I don't wear high heels👠
not only, i have the same :(
Same
No you're not alone, I had them on both my feet, both parents had them also. I had the first operated on 2002 and the other 2011 excellent results and no more pain.
Nope. I had one on my left foot. I had it for years and it hurt like the heck. Got it removed in 1990.
Nope, I have them on both of my feet and me 12 :(
So if your family has narly feet chance is you will too hahaha that’s me. That’s me. Dang it. The agony!
Do we all get bunions when we grow up?
They only help if you have very small bunions
If you have large bunions they will roll out of place
My second toe curves toward toe 345 at the last joint how can I straighten then toe straighteners are too close to base of foot and will marble pick ups work
i watch this when i cant sleep ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Is it possible to be born with bunions? I’ve had a bunion for as long as I can remember. I was born a twin so I wonder if when we were in the womb if my toe got pushed somehow. I jus remember always having a crooked toe & no pain. Just annoying & ugly to look at.
Yes, myself and most of my siblings were born with it. Most of our children were born with them. Got it from my father. We actually look at all the big toes of all the babies born in our family to see if they have my dad's crooked big toe.
Gorgeous asl
@joanwilliams is surgery the best way?, thank you.
I've recently had lapiplasty bunion surgery, the best bunion surgery option out there in my opinion, and am making update videos if you're interested
I need a new foot
GWEN GOLD me too
@@krisb4735 😂😂😂😂😂
Me tooo😂😂😂😂
Admiring a problem...dislocations .
The shoes are the problem. Shoes are deforming our feet. It’s like ancient Chinese foot binding but unintentional.
Wear Crocs
I’ve had bunions since I was a baby
What kind of a doctor says "gnarly looking feet"?
Ha ha an honest one!!
I heard onions are good for bunions.
So are unions
Why myself tone stuck up in my shoes👠 and my 5 toe and cross over top each other pinky toe pooping sound crock sound what I sleep in the morning and evening and night
Perfect toes?
Um...
Cutting your bones is crazy! I don't believe in that. Has to be a better way, exercises or so, but surgery just if there is arthritis involved.
Why does she look like shes trying not to laugh lool is it just me?
why bunions they should have stuck with hammertoes
I am having a surgery next month. I have a bunion the next 2 toes are hammer toes which caused by the pressure of the big toe. Any advice or suggestion? Anyone faced that before?
Did u get it done? How do they feel!? I’m considering surgery thamsk
I just had surgery 4 weeks ago on my bunion and 3 hammertoes. My toes are still a little swollen but it worked out well.
Presentation was helpful, thank you. If I could just suggest limiting how many times you say “uhmmm”. I think there’s over 100 times you say that. Just saying…
Um! lol I couldn't resist.
I'm watching this because I'm too lazy to go see a doctor.
i thought bunions were microwabable buns with chocolate on the inside
I used to think it was a bun with onions, like onion rings
Great advise talk a bit loud thanks
Toes already too far to correct need good single seperaters
Found men wise Asian tunbet type food wear
The people here for pointe are here
This is such crap. "It has been shown in populations that wear shoes ..." Of course that's thee #1 reason. Just look at a babies foot and look at the shoes kids and adults wear. The toes should be the widest part of the shoe but it isn't. People, please check out the Correct Toes website if you want the truth. Wearing Correct Toes has been a game changer. I'm not exaggerating. I thought I had a balance problem but it turns out I had a SHOE problem. This is why I have ZERO trust in conventional medicine.
