Ease the pain of bunions

Average rating: 4 out of 5 star rating

I had a big, painful bunion on my foot but wanted to avoid an operation. My doctor recommended anti-inflammatory medicine, and also suggested I use a moleskin patch to protect the bunion from being rubbed by my shoe. Dr Scholl does one that you just cut to size. It costs £1.95.

Badly-fitting footwear causes and aggravates existing bunions. Don't assume you know what shoe size you are as many brands are slightly different. Try shoes on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen. That way you should get a good fit and avoid further problems.

Bunions are one of the most painful forefoot deformities. Flat feet and even arthritis is seen to be the main cause. Wearing well-fitting and comfortable shoes helps in preventing growth of bunions. Know more consult here <a>Bunion Doctor - Podiatry New York</a>
