Having a bunion does not mean you are suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis. In most cases it means you just have a bunion. Now if you have some other signs of Rheumatoid arthritis such as other joint deformities, Rheumatoid Nodules, then yes it could mean you have Rheumatoid Arthritis. If you are worried about it then what you should do is see a Podiatrist or a Primary Care Physician to be evaluated for that possibility.
