- This is a serious deformity of the foot that requires treatment. Over the years, the bone becomes larger, it is difficult for a person to wear narrow shoes, he is worried about severe pain. In addition, from an aesthetic point of view, the deformation does not look very beautiful, especially on the female leg. When a bone reaches a large size and brings a lot of inconvenience, a person tries to get rid of it by any means.
One of the main reasons for the appearance of bones, doctors call the improper distribution of load on the legs. Among other factors affecting bone formation, it should be noted overweight, genetic predisposition, regular wearing high-heeled shoes, flat feet. This disease mainly persecutes the fairer sex. Women have a very mobile ligamentous apparatus, so it is prone to deformation. And if you add to this the constant wearing of boots and stilettos, the appearance of a bone will not take long. Most people think that protruding bone is only a defect from an aesthetic point of view, but in fact it is a real disease that requires medical intervention if it is in a neglected state.
If the bone is small in size, but the thumb bends at twenty or more degrees, you need to urgently contact a doctor. Other fingers will undergo deformations in the future, and the thumb may deviate by 60 or more degrees. When the problem is started, and the person feels severe pain even without shoes, his gait changes greatly, the load on the joints and spine increases. The sooner the patient turns to the orthopedist, the better. The fact is that with the advanced form of the disease, it will be required and then many months of rehabilitation. In advanced cases, doctors resort to several types of operations.
If the disease is in the initial stage, you can independently make the bone stop growing at home. Choose the right shoes with heels from two to four centimeters, made of quality material. It is better to choose shoes and boots with round toes, from soft and comfortable materials, not necessarily leather. Buy orthopedic insoles that will help to properly distribute the load, support the natural bending of the foot. Once a day, massage your feet, which relieves tension. You can resort to wearing special tires, which the orthopedist selects and places on the big toes. This will help to avoid inflammatory processes and maintain the correct position of the thumb. Do therapeutic exercises a couple of times a week: with your toes, lift pencils, shawls or pens from the floor for 10-15 minutes. Try to walk barefoot at home.
If you start to worry about pain, use various folk remedies for normal health. Folk recipes will relieve pain, reduce swelling and relieve stress from the foot.
