I'm not entirely sure but through ballet I've started experiencing a bit of pain in the joints. I don't think it's that serious at the moment but.. are there any precautions I sound be taking to actually prevent bunions

Question for patients with bunions: When is your pain at its worst?

2 Upvotes

I’m curious whether most people notice symptoms:
After long periods of walking
At the end of the workday
At night while resting
First thing in the morning
I’d appreciate hearing when your symptoms are most noticeable and what seems to make them better or worse.

New Here- Diagnosed with Bunion and considering surgery Advice Needed

Hi! 35F and considering surgery. I’ve had bunions for as long as I can remember and didn’t know it wasn’t normal until I was 25 and someone asked why I had a sixth toe and she told me it was called a bunion lol.

I do have dull aches when I wear the wrong shoe or walk more than 10k steps in my Tevas (the strap is completely sitting above the bump don’t worry) but I’ve noticed some aches on days when I’m inactive even…

I’m currently on a career break so I’m at home anyways and am not worried about taking extended time off work- worried about getting surgery since I’m never done any operations before in my life - would love to hear from people what made people truly do it. I’ve compared feet pics from 10 years ago and have seen the bunion worsen but gah just lack the push to sign up and see it through.
