Suggest treatment for bunion and arthritis
Patient: Hi, I am 32 years old and my GP said that I suffer for bunion and arthritis when I came to her with my painfull big toe. As a treatment she said it is only painkillers. The pain depend on the time of the day, and the shoe I wear, but from day to day it is more painfull. I can not do things with my foot like before. Should i take any other treatment ? Does the copper rings or magnetic help for this kind of pain.? Doctor: Hello,  Copper rings or magnets will not help. Consult a rheumatologist and get evaluated. In severe cases you can opt for steroid injection also.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
