Pain: Bunion or Neuropathy

Posted by jayrob624 @jayrob624, Nov 7 12:40pm

A bunion on my left foot returned after I had surgery in 2004. The pain is different this time. The last time the pain happened on the bunion bone and would wake me up at night. This time the pain is on the top of my foot. The big toe and the other toes significantly slanted to the left. Can it be the bunion causing the pain or the neuropathy I have in my body?

@jayrob624, I'm guessing the pain could be from either the bunion or neuropathy. Mayo Clinic has some information here that might be helpful:

Have you had your doctor take a look at the bunion?
