This is what my foot is like when I push my bunion in versus weight bearing.

I waited too long, 13 years for surgery and now my 1,2,3 toes are leaning left. And having arthritis also makes it more painful. Almost 10 years I was buying man’s wide shoes and my right foot is okay and those shoes are too big on the right foot.

Whether they hurt or not bunions are a structural deformity. My bunions caused me no pain for over 20 years, before the discomfort/pain started. I'm 6 weeks out from my MIS bunion surgery and have no regrets. I know the idea of surgery is a scary one, but it might be an idea just to make some initial enquiries? None of those bunion gimmicks work and I know because I tried most of them! 😂 Best of luck to you .

I just had MIS on my right foot last Tuesday and I was terrified to have the surgery due to all the horrible stories I’ve heard & read. I know that Everyone’s story is different though! I’m here to tell you, I haven’t experienced any pain, discomfort or issues. My healing has been way better than I’d ever expected. Honestly I worry I’m over doing it the last few days because I’ve felt so good so I have to make myself sit still and elevate my foot! My one week checkup is this Thursday. Just DO IT!

I have bunions on both feet with advanced arthritis, cysts and bone spurs. Very painful to walk. I can only wear trainers but even struggle with those. Had 10 steroid injections but they no longer work. Surgery has been refused; been told I’m too young and need to wait till I’m 60

I just finished 3D Lapiplasty foot surgery. The bunion is caused by a bone misalignment. I also had plantar fasciitis and toes that needs to be repaired due to misalignment. Once I started having issues with my gait, pain in hip and lower back I consulted a podiatrist and surgeon. Good luck 🍀

how about what happens when you do a doming exercise and strengthen that arch. Or buy Altra shoes that are actually footshaped along with Correct Toes???? Not saying you won't need surgery but it might help
