Ohio women's feet hurt more in autumn

As they transition from open-toed sandals to closed-in boots and shoes, foot and ankle surgeon Molly S. Judge, DPM, FACFAS, says shenotices more women seeking relief for painful bunions.Dr. Judge has offices in the Ohio and Michigan areas. She says this trend plays out in the examining rooms of many foot and ankle surgeons every autumn.
"Some of my female bunion patients are in agony," says Dr. Judge. "They describe a constant, throbbing pain, even when they take their shoes off."
While the changing weather brings more bunion patients into her office, Dr. Judge says some women inquire about surgery in the fall because they're less busy than in summer months. Many are also closer to meeting their insurance deductibles.
Dr. Judge emphasizes that surgery is a last-resort treatment for women with painful bunions.
"For many women, simple changes like wearing shoes with wider toe boxes can significantly reduce bunion pain," she says. "Custom shoe inserts, gel- or foam-filled padding and anti-inflammatory medications may also provide pain relief."
