What are the signs of bunions?
A bunion resembles a turnip — red and swollen. In fact, some sources say the word bunion comes from the Greek word for turnip. Other symptoms include:
- Inability to bend the big toe, or pain and burning when you try to bend it.
- Difficulty wearing regular shoes.
- Corns or calluses (thickened skin).
- Hammertoes (painful, tight toe tendons and joints).
- Numbness in the big toe.
