bunion no pain

A bunion is a bony protrusion that forms on the base of the big toe, and it can cause pain, redness, and swelling in the area. However, it's possible for a bunion to be present without causing any pain or discomfort. This is known as a "silent bunion." In these cases, the bunion may not require any treatment, but it's still important to have it evaluated by a healthcare provider to ensure that it's not causing any other problems or that it may not become painful in the future.

It's also worth noting that a bunion can cause pain in other areas such as the knee, hip and lower back as it can change the alignment of the entire body. It's always best to consult a podiatrist or orthopedic surgeon for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, especially if the bunion is causing difficulty walking, or if it's affecting your quality of life.
