Years of abnormal motion and pressure on the joint forces the big toe to bend toward the others, which causes an often-painful bunion on the joint. This joint at the base of the big toe carries much of your weight while walking, so bunions can cause severe and constant pain.
Is it normal for bunions to hurt?
It can range from mild to severe, and it can be constant or only flare up sometimes. You might feel throbbing bunion pain at night in your big toe, or pain that extends into the ball of your foot throughout the day. You could also experience shooting pain if swelling in your toe joint is pressing against a nerve.
What is the best treatment for painful bunions?
Over-the-counter, nonmedicated bunion pads or cushions may be helpful. They can act as a buffer between your foot and your shoe and ease your pain. Medications. Acetaminophen (Tylenol, others), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) or naproxen sodium (Aleve) can help you control the pain of a bunion.
