Each of your feet has 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 tendons, muscles, and ligaments. No wonder a lot of things can go wrong. Here are a few common problems:
-
Bunions - hard, painful bumps on the big toe joint
-
Calluses and corns - thickened skin from friction or pressure
-
Plantar warts - warts on the soles of your feet
-
Fallen arches - also called flat feet
Ill-fitting shoes often cause these problems. Aging and being overweight also increase your chances of having foot problems.
