Big toe joint pain can have many causes many of which can be cured with the correct treatment.

"Bunions" (hallux valgus) is a progressive condition in which the big toe drifts toward the middle of the foot and the forefoot splays out. The deformity typically gets worse with time and causes pain and discomfort when walking or wearing shoes. Surgery is the primary treatment option.

A bunion is referred to "hallux valgus" and involves the big toe moving position so that it points inwards toward the second toe.
