Hello, your symptoms are likely due to hallux valgus (bunion) or hallux abducto valgus. If the condition is mild, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as Voltaren (diclofenac), may be used to alleviate pain. However, if the hallux abducto valgus is severe, osteotomy and corrective surgery may be required to restore normal biomechanical alignment of the foot. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
