Have you tried physiotherapy exercises or support for your bunions?

Kind of a complicated question- Has anyone here with both bad bunions and PF actually had bunion surgery first and then later the PF improved with all the usual treatments but not pf surgery? I have had horribly bad bunions for years and just kept delaying surgery but now have had horrible PF for 18 months. I can’t help but think the two are related because my toes are squished into each other. I know other factors are involved as well but if the squished toes aren’t fixed maybe the pf can’t be fully healed either….I will bring this up at my orthopedic foot surgeon appt but I was surprised the surgical podiatrist I saw was going to do pf surgery first…I opted for just shockwave therapy which has been immensely helpful but not 100% cure.

yes. I have done all the pt, footwear changes, splints etc for both foot issues. My bunion on my worst PF foot is the worst bunion. I’m not doing pf surgery (yet) bc as I mentioned, shockwave has been very helpful but not a cure all. I’ve done all the things everyone has mentioned. My question was has anyone had a bunionectomy and had that ultimately make their pf more responsive to all the treatments thrown at it.

Better opt for shockwave therapy and other modalities before going for a PF surgery

Get a second opinion before doing PF surgery
