Am I getting a bunion?

I've noticed recently that the bunion bone (don't know the name of it), is raised when I touch the top of it. It doesn't stick out when I rub along the side of my foot but is extremely bony when I rub my finger along over the bone bit. It has been painful on a couple of occasions.

I hope this makes sense. Does that mean that this is the start of a bunion?

Feels like a cold

Oh no :( I'm only 25, way too young to get one.
Wonder what sort of shoes would be best.

No mrs.o...............that's comfortable shoes.

sandyRoe

I didn't. Comfortable shoes, then.
euphemism for what, I wonder?

Sorry craft, but in our house "sensible shoes" is the female equivalent of "light on his feet" and "good to his mother"

I seem to be really putting my foot in it here.
A pair of Crocks, then. No risks of bunions with them I'd say

A pair of Crocks, then

Sorry for going slightly off topic MissC.
You need to wear whatever is comfy

Ach-y-fi! I don't 'do' crocs to be honest. I tend to wear dolly style shoes, which thinking about it, rub across that bone. Time to find a new style of shoe I guess.

Try to lift a golf ball off the floor with your toes around it, I have been told that this is a good exercise for the toe bones and keeps bunions at bay.
