Bunion pain is usually caused by a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe when the joint becomes misaligned. This can happen due to wearing tight or narrow shoes, genetic foot structure, flat feet, or arthritis. The pain may start as mild discomfort but can worsen over time, especially when walking or standing for long periods. While bunions are not life-threatening, untreated bunion pain can affect daily activities and mobility, so early care is important.
