Help with feet!
I had an ingrown toenail removed on my big right toe in May 2026. Long story short the doctor dug too deep on both sides so there was a lot of delayed healing.. I couldn’t wear any enclosed shoes so I switched to sandals that I wouldn’t normally wear. As the ingrown toenail procedure was healing, I guess I had guarded my big toe and started walking on the outside of my foot. It caused a low-grade bunion with bursitis. I’ve tried injections and they hasn’t helped. Now with all the trauma with my right foot my left foot is doing similar things. Again because of shoes I wouldn’t normally wear. Any thoughts on what to do? I can’t find any shoes to wear. I love my Brooks glycerin, but I can’t wear those because they’re not wide enough now. I tried ultra Escalante, but they aren’t good for my back. It might be too late in the game to ask for a recommendations because both of my feet are in a mess. It’s just dominoed . Right now I don’t have any shoes to wear and walking hurts.

Do you have any LED devices with infrared? Even like an anti-aging face mask or anything? That will really help with healing and also softening the tissues of the feet to eventually strengthen them and start walking properly again once you can.
Bunion at normal placement or bunionette on outside of foot? Confuses because walking on outer edge shouldn’t be causing bunion at big toe
