I got a bunion from sitting cross legged and not realizing my food “fell asleep” and with the leg pressure I knocked it out of place and did get it put back. That was about 8 yrs ago. I’ve used those bunion “fix” things and that has helped a little in moving closer back to now. They have made balance better.

hi! thank you as always for your content! i just want to add that this has been a great lead for me as well even though i do not specifically match the indicated person w a bunion. rather i have a high arch almost borderline met adductus i believe, and have done a lot of foot strengthening (and for the past 6 or so years have worn minimalist/wide toe box shoes to encourage my natural foot function etc). but i think i am experiencing some of the same nerve and vascular compression as someone w a bunion, only my big toe itself is in line w its metatarsal. my first ray is quite abducted (i have a pronounced space btwn first and second) and so even though i do not have the adduction angle at the first met, there is an increased tension (and hypertrophy actually) of abd hallucis that i believe is creating both baxters nerve issues for me *and* slowing my healing bc of decreased blood supply as you helpfully elaborate here. the article does not directly address my foot as it is focused on bunion population, but there is inferential support for my cavus foot experience. just wanted to add this for any other viewers who may have a similar experience. and of course id love if you shared any thoughts/insights this makes you think of as well 🙏. thank you!
