What to do if your big toe bone protrudes and hurts

Painful protruding big toe bone, usually referred to as bunion deformity, can be treated with medication, orthotic correction or surgery depending on the severity of the condition. 1. Medication: The main purpose is to relieve pain. Non-steroidal drugs such as ibuprofen and diclofenac sodium can be prescribed. 2. Orthopedic braces: Orthopedic braces such as bunion orthotics, bunion sacs, split toe pads, etc. can be chosen to correct the bunion. 3. Surgery: For patients with severe bunion symptoms, if conservative treatment is ineffective, surgery can be chosen. Commonly used surgical methods include bunionectomy, bunionectomy and wedge-shaped osteotomy of the bunion bone, etc. Patients with bunion symptoms should take care of themselves in daily life. Bunion patients should pay attention to reduce long time walking and strenuous foot movement in daily life, avoid wearing high-heeled shoes, pointy shoes, etc. If the big toe bone protrudes and pain is obvious, you should consult a doctor in time, and carry out standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
