How can I be affected?
The patient may experience pain in the joint when you walk, especially as you push-off on the toes when walking up/ down stair. There is swelling around the base of the big toe, especially over the dorsum (top) of the big toe with an associated bony bump. The joint will be stiff at a late stage due to the degeneration and the dorsal bony bump.
