Rheumatism?( or gout)
The term rheumatism is an old-fashioned word used to describe problems that affect the joints and connective tissues. Arthritis means several diseases that affect the joints, such as osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), gout, and ankylosing spondylitis.

Thanks. Also what does it mean if it hurts and if doesn’t hurt when pressed?
@Inspired_2write
I looked at Mayo https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/bunions/symptoms-causes/syc-20354799( @Inspired_2write) it’s just talking about the big toe, and another site is also about just one part of the body part. I was thinking what is it if it’s about any protruding bone in whatever part of the body.
@rebbel Would you post a link? Thanks.
