Background:
Without any underlying problems, leg muscles and joints can become painful due simply to overuse/strain at any time and age.
Can leg and knee pain be caused by bunion deformity?
Yes, the altered gait adopted by more severe bunion sufferers from losing their big toe function is less efficient and thus over-working leg muscles causing muscle or joint pain.
Bunion deformity can precipitate and also accentuate any pre-existing flat foot and pronation conditions, which in turn can produce valgus thrust and strain of the knee joint and muscles.
How would I know if bunion surgery may help my leg and knee pain or not?
It will depend on the chosen surgery, whether it can re-stabilize first metatarsal and restore big toe function or not.
