I have been thinking and I will have bunion surgery. I'm not getting younger, so I will get this taken care of. All of the this in the maket sold to relieve the pain temporarily won't be a forever fix. My right foot didn't give me problems until I was 25 years old and I had the surgery. So now 20 years later, the left foot is giving me problems. This came with no warning, so my foot is giving me a head's up, so I will listen to the pain and have the surgery. I don't want to be 80 years old with bunion pain. I may not be able recover at that age.
