The short answer I have, without knowing more about you or your feet is avoid surgery if you can. As Carrie mentioned in the post, bunions can and will "return" even after surgery if you're not correcting the reason they're there in the first place. Are you in consistent pain? Do your sneakers and other shoes have a wide enough toe box that you can freely wiggle and spread your toes? Do you wear flip flops in the summer (a big no no)? Exercises and working on your foot and whole body alignment will certainly improve the situation. My bunions are still there but my feet feel and look so much better after really focusing on my alignment work. This week I'll work up a post on my blog specifically for bunion work for you so feel free to follow over at the blog or shoot me an email and I'll send you the link when it's up: coach at healthyfootcoach dot com.

Its so bad that my big toe gets bruised if I walk any considerable distance in any shoe (usually sneakers.) I never wore heels. Will exercises help restore my feet or is it too late and I will need surgery to jump start my recovery? My bunions are pretty extreme and I am contemplating surgery.
