When your great toe has a protruding bump at the base on the inside of the foot, it is known as a bunion (hallux valgus). Your great toe will shift toward the other toes as a result of a change in foot alignment.
When your great toe rubs against your second toe or when the bump presses on your shoe, it may hurt. Additionally, a misaligned great toe can occasionally cause pain in the ball of the foot.
Hallux rigidus or great toe arthritis usually presents with great toe joint range of motion in patients. Limitation of joint movement in the great toe creates a complaint according to the shoes worn by the patient during walking. Especially when wearing sharp, narrow shoes or wearing hard shoes, the limitation of movement in the great toe causes pain more specifically.
