Suggest Medication For Pain In Big Toe

The past month I have been having pain in my right foot, near my big toe. Even when I am not wearing shoes I get a shooting pain on the side of my foot. I think it might be a bunion forming. I work on my feet for 8+ hours a day and I have started wearing wide shoes to try and help with friction against my big toe. Is there anything a doctor can do to help alleviate pain?
