Ah, my first post and it's in reply to your bunionette problem. There is nothing cute about pain! I had a bunionectomy performed last December. Recovery is about 3-4 months, but I believe mine was a much more involved surgery since they have to break the 1st metatarsal or remove a wedge of bone from it to set that bone straight again. They also have to shave off a little of the petruding bone. I am not sure what is involved with the bunionette surgery, but I can't imagine that it's any more involved than a bunionectomy. I do want to assure you that I am very glad I had it done. The recovery was relatively easy and virtually pain free (say yes to drugs!). I simply couldn't live with that foot pain and still be active in sports. It was well worth it. Hope this helps
