Ama-Bunions

I-bunion iwumbuzo oluqine olukhula ejoyini esiqaleni sokubanzi kwakho. Kwenzeka lapho amanye amathambo engxenyeni yangaphambili yonyawo lwakho ehambela kwenye indawo. Lokhu kubangela ukuthi ukhulu lwakho lukhishwe ngasezinzwani ezincane futhi kuphoqe ijoyini esiqaleni sokubanzi kwakho ukuba iphume. Isikhumba esiphezulu se-bunion singase sibe bomvu futhi sibuhlungu.

Ukugqoka izicathulo eziqinile, eziqine kungabangela ama-bunion noma kuwenze abe mubi. Ama-bunion angakhula futhi ngenxa yesimo sonyawo lwakho, ukungapheleli kwonyaweni noma isimo sezempilo, njengokuqina kwamajozi.

Ama-bunion amancane (ama-bunionettes) angakhula ejoyini yomunwe wakho omncane.

Izimpawu nezimpawu ze-bunion zifaka phakathi:

• Ukukhula okukhulu ngaphandle kwesisekelo somunwe wakho omkhulu
• Ukukhula, ubomvu noma ubuhlungu eduze nomlenze omkhulu
• Ama-corns noma ama-calluses — lawa avame ukuvela lapho umunwe wokuqala nomunwe wesibili uqhaqhazela khona
• Ubuhlungu obuqhubekayo noma ubuhlungu obuza nelihamba
• Ukunyakaza okulinganiselwe komunwe wakho omkhulu

Nakuba ama-bunions ngokuvamile engafuni ukwelashwa ngokonyango, bona udokotela wakho noma udokotela oqeqeshwe ekwelapheni izifo zezinyawo (i-podiatrist noma i-orthopedic foot specialist) uma una:

• Ubuhlungu obuqhubekayo lweminwe emikhulu noma olunyawo
• I-bump ebonakalayo ehlangene lweminwe emikhulu
• Ukuncipha kokunyakaza komunwe omkhulu noma unyawo
• Ukukhuluphala ekufuneni izicathulo ezifanele ngenxa ye-bunion

Ziningi izindlela zokucabanga mayelana nendlela ama-bunions aphucuka ngayo, kodwa imbangela eqondile ayaziwa. Izici ezinokwenzeka zihlanganisa:

• Uhlobo lwengalo oluzuzwe
• Ukuqina kwelanga noma ukulimala
• Ukuphazamiseka okukhona ekuzalweni

Ochwepheshe abavumelani uma izicathulo eziqinile, eziphezulu noma eziyincane kakhulu zibangela ama-bunions noma uma izicathulo nje zinikezela ekukhuleni kwama-bunions.

Ama-bunions angahlotshaniswa nezinhlobo ezithile ze-arthritis, ikakhulukazi izinhlobo ezivuvukalayo, njenge-rheumatoid arthritis.

Lezi zinto zingase zikwenze ube sengozini enkulu yokuba ne-bunions:

• Izicathulo eziphezulu. Ukugqoka izicathulo eziphezulu kucindezela iminwe yakho phambi kwezicathulo zakho, ngokuvamile kuhlanganisa iminwe yakho.
• Izicathulo ezingafaneleki kahle. Abantu abagqoka izicathulo eziqine kakhulu, ezincinci kakhulu noma eziqonde kakhulu banesihlahla esikhulu sokuthuthukisa i-bunions.
• Ukuvuvukala kwama-rheumatoid. Ukuba nale meko yokuvuvukala kungakwenza ube nethuba elikhulu lokuthuthukisa i-bunions.
• Ukuzala. Ukuthambekela ekukhuliseni i-bunions kungase kube yimphumela yengxaki ezuzwe ngokuzalwa ngokwakheka noma ngesimo somzimba weminwe yakho.

Izinhlungu ezingase zenzeke ngenxa yama-bunions zifaka phakathi:

• Bursitis. Lesi simo esibuhlungu senzeka lapho ama-pad amancane agcwele i-fluid avikela amathambo eduze kwama-joints akho efinyelela.
• Hammertoe. Ukugoba okungajwayelekile okwenzeka ku-joint ephakathi yomunwe, ngokuvamile umunwe oseceleni komunwe omkhulu, kungabangela ubuhlungu noxinzelelo.
• Metatarsalgia. Lesi simo sibangela ubuhlungu nokukhula komkhuhlane wezinyawo zakho.

Ukuvimbela iziphango, khetha izicathulo ngokucophelela. Kufanele zibe nomgodi omkhulu wezinzwane—azikho izicathulo ezincondzayo—futhi kufanele kube khona isikhala phakathi komphetho wezinzwane yakho ende kakhulu nokuqeda kwesicathulo. Izicathulo zakho kufanele zivumelane nesimo sezinzwane zakho ngaphandle kokucindezela noma ukucindezela noma yisiphi isigaba sezinzwane yakho.

Udokotela wakho angakwazi ukuqaphela i-bunion ngokuhlola unyawo lwakho. Ngemva kokuhlolwa komzimba, isithombe se-X-ray senyawo lakho singasiza udokotela wakho ukuthi aqonde indlela engcono kakhulu yokwelapha.

Amakhetho okwelapha ahlukahluka kuye ngokuthi i-bunion yakho isimo esibi kangakanani nokuthi ikuhlungupha kangakanani.

Amakhetho angekho obuchwephesheni angase akhulule ubuhlungu noxinzelelo lwe-bunion afaka phakathi:

Uma ukwelapha okuqondile kungakukhululi izimpawu zakho, ungase udinga ukuhlinzwa. Ukuhlinzwa akukhuthazwa ngezizathu zokuhlobisa; kuphela uma i-bunion ikuhlungupha njalo noma iphazamisa imisebenzi yakho yansuku zonke.

Kunezindlela eziningi zokuhlinzwa ze-bunions, futhi akukho ndlela eyodwa engcono kunazo zonke inkinga ngayinye.

Izindlela zokuhlinzwa ze-bunions zingenziwa njengezindlela ezihlukile noma zihlangene. Zingase zihilele:

Kungenzeka ukuthi uzokwazi ukuhamba ngenyawo lakho ngemuva nje kwenqubo ye-bunion. Noma kunjalo, ukuphulukiswa okuphelele kungathatha amasonto kuya ezinyangeni.

Ukuvimbela ukubuyela, kuzodingeka ugqoke izicathulo ezifanele ngemuva kokululama. Kubantu abaningi, akunengqondo kulindeleke ukugqoka izicathulo eziqine kakhulu ngemuva kokuhlinzwa.

Khuluma nodokotela wakho ngalokho ongalindela ngemuva kokuhlinzwa kwe-bunion.

• Ukushintsha izicathulo. Gqoka izicathulo ezibanzi, eziyathuthukisa ezinendawo eningi yeminwe yakho.

• Ukugcwalisa. Ama-pad noma ama-cushion e-bunion angaphezulu kokuthengwa, angelona imithi angase abe usizo. Angasebenza njengesivikelo phakathi kwenyawo lakho nesicathulo sakho futhi akhulule ubuhlungu bakho.

• Imithi. I-Acetaminophen (Tylenol, nabanye), i-ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, nabanye) noma i-naproxen sodium (Aleve) zingakusiza ulawule ubuhlungu be-bunion. Ukugonywa kwe-Cortisone nakho kungase kusize.

• Ama-inserts ezicathulo. Ama-inserts ezicathulo agcwele angasiza ekuhlukaniseni uxinzelelo ngokulinganayo uma uhambisa izinyawo zakho, kunciphisa izimpawu zakho futhi uvikele i-bunion yakho ukuba ingabi sibi kakhulu. Ukusekela okungenaphethiloli kungasiza abanye abantu; abanye badinga amadivayisi e-orthotic alayishiwe.

• Ukufaka iqhwa. Ukufaka iqhwa kwi-bunion yakho ngemuva kokuba ube phezu kwezinyawo zakho isikhathi eside noma uma kuqala ukuvuvukala kungasiza ekuqedeni ubuhlungu nokuvuvukala. Uma unezinkinga zokuzwa noma ukujikeleza kwegazi ezinyaweni zakho, qala uqale ukhulume nodokotela wakho ngaphambi kokufaka iqhwa.

• Ukususa inyama evuvukile eduze nomjikelezo omkhulu weminwe

• Uqondise umunwe omkhulu ngokususa ingxenye yethambo

• Uqondise kabusha ithambo elilodwa noma ngaphezulu ezingxenyeni zangaphambili ukuze uqondise i-angle engalungile emjikelezweni omkhulu weminwe

• Uhlanganise amathambo omjikelezo wakho oqalekile unomphela
