Wow, I wish I had sought more advice about treating bunions. I thought the only cure was a bunionectomy.

I can't even remember the pain I used to experience, although I do remember telling people it was like my foot was in a vice and my bones were being crushed. I couldn't run, I couldn't ride my bike for very long, I couldn't wear shoes for long periods of time . . . it was BAD.

So, I had a bilateral bunionectomy four years ago. My experience has been great so far. My feet healed very well and fast because, having both done at the same time, I was forced to stay in bed as opposed to trying to hobble around on one foot. I have two screws in each foot. I haven't had any problems with my feet since then.
