I've had this bunion all my life. Over the past few years, I've just . . . noticed it more. So I'm considering a bunionectomy.

The scar you see is from when I had to remove a neuroma. That was life changing.

The bunion, however, isn't as bad as the neuroma was. Sometimes it's painful, and sometimes it's not. This is nothing as severe as some of the bunions I've seen around here, so I'm considering not getting the surgery because I don't know that the whole process is worth it for a mild bunion.

Doctor will do the surgery, but also he notes that people (including him) have gone their entire lives with them.

Just trying to get some insight here.
