Hallux (hallux valgus) is a very painful condition of the foot in which the big toe is deflected towards the other toes. Then the metatarsal bone deforms and the joint expands, as a result the entire foot is deformed. A hard growth forms around the joint, which not only looks ugly, but also causes severe pain. Bursitis is influenced by many factors, including: wearing high heels or uncomfortable shoes, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, or genetic predisposition. Bursitis can make it difficult to walk and maintain proper posture, which is why it is so important to treat it. Surgery is the last step, but often it only fixes the problem temporarily. Fortunately, there are home remedies for treating swelling, pain, and other conditions that accompany bursitis.
