Question 1

Who is prone to bunions?

Accepted Answer

Women are more likely to have bunions than men. Women who have worn high heels or shoes that are extra tight near the toes often develop a bunion over time.

Question 2

What does bunion cause if left untreated?

Accepted Answer

If left untreated, a bunion can cause arthritis, especially if the joint in the big toe has sustained extensive, long-term damage. Bunions may cause the cartilage in the joint to deteriorate. While bunions can be remedied through surgery, arthritis and the possibility of chronic pain are not curable.

Question 3

How long should you wear a Flamingo bunion splint?

Accepted Answer

If you are going to try wearing a bunion splint, you should try wearing it for at least one week. Bunion splints are often recommended after having bunion surgery, as they help keep the toes aligned and prevent the big toe from moving in the wrong direction again.

Question 4

What are the early signs of bunions?

Accepted Answer

Swelling or redness around your big toe joint. Red, irritated or warm-to-the-touch skin around your big toe joint. Stiffness or limited range of motion in your big toe or foot

Question 5

Can you walk with a Flamingo bunion splint?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the splints are designed to allow you to walk while providing corrective support for your big toe.
