How To Treat Bunion On The Left Foot?

Every so often my left leg, ankle and foot seem to swell up- the right does a little but not as bad as the left. I am 45. For the past 6-7 years worn high heels, am somewhat a little over weight , and I believe have a bunion on the left foot by the bone where my big toe meets like the top/side of my foot- what could be causing this ??
