What Should I Do For The Painful Bunion On Foot?
I have a bunion on my right foot that is very painful. It feels like someone has hit the top of my foot
with a hammer. I've had pain for at least 10 years. I started playing senior softball a few years ago and it seemed to help standing in a ready position, in the outfield, swaying from side to side. My question: at this stage, is surgery my only option?? I don't really have insurance that would cover something like this. I'm 65 and want to stay active.
Can you suggest anything that can improve my situation without having surgery?

Hi,
If pain is severe then the only treatment is surgery.
Do not waste time.
Just have surgery whether you have insurance or not.
Thanks,
