At the simplest level, bunions are a deformed growth in a bone at the base of the big toe. Aside from being visually unattractive, bunions can make it almost unbearable to wear shoes, walk any real distance or carry on with your usual activities. As summer approaches us, many are looking down and feeling the pain. Perhaps you are in this situation and have finally reached a place of readiness to call an orthopedic specialist.
