Anyone have a similiar situation and just not get the surgery?

I had similar two years ago - well maybe more like 3 now! Bunions showed up. We’re not painful. Very visible. My GP said to change my shoes before I worried about anything else! He said especially women often experience expanding feet as we age and not always notice. So I had my feet properly measured and moved up a half size so the ball of my foot was better positioned. Also took care to make sure the toe box was wide enough. Went up a full size in my walking shoes (as in exercise walking). Six months later my bunions had receded considerably and are now almost gone. Might not work for you if yours have been there a long time. Start with one new pair that you can wear almost all the time.
I used “healthyfeetstore.com” to measure my feet and then find shoes that worked. Good luck. Avoid any surgery if you can!! (Someone else said that as well and I agree!!)
