I’m suppose to be the prime of my life right now and for the past year everyday I feel like crap. I have chronic pain going on a year now and I have countless other health problems that I guess aren’t chronic but need to be taken care of but don’t have money. I just wanna feel good again and not deal with aches and pains every day.

Bunions are aching on and off throughout the day everyday now. The bumps haven’t gotten much bigger but they’re aching more. Doesn’t matter if I’m sitting with shoes off or walking around with shoes on. Especially if I try to do exercises sometimes I over extent the toes and I get a shooting burning and aching pain after. My tailors bunions are getting the most annoying now.

If other people have bunions and flat feet what have you don’t to fix it or heal the pain?

Was it aching on and off through out the day or just after certain activities or at certain times like when your laying in bed at night?

I personally believe that flat feet are the reason for all my foot problems. Both feet are flat (I don’t know if it developed from age, genetics or just being super inactive the last 5 years) and these feet have all sorts of problems from bunions, tailor bunions, arthritis in joints, hammertoes and my ankle on the inside always aches especially after walking long distances or wearing heavy steel toe boots. I get lots of very warm burning sensations in the bunions.

It’s even sadder that you cannot fix these problems unless you get full on surgery for all of this stuff. My feet are completely destroyed.

I will be doing foot exercises with my toes like grabbing towels with my feet and toes to strengthen the muscles and my bunions but they seems to aggravate it and make all my bunion joints aches for hours after and I’m wondering if this is normal for others who do this stuff or should I stop it completely? It seems going barefoot and doing exercises should be helping no?

I heard for MIS bunions you pay out of pocket as it’s not covered under insurance. Has anyone done that or just got what they offered covered by insurance. I’m looking for the best option to be able to get on my feet and drive again quickly but of course nothing is covered under insurance.

Quit my job because I couldn’t take the management being so disordered and coworkers are lazy having me to do everything. Parents are mad. Still live at home. Not even looking for another job and have no direction in life now.

I am NEET once again.

So I’m not sure if barefoot shoes are the way to go or getting custom orthotics. My podiatrist said I have these problems and even bunions are starting to form because I’ve worn nothing but vans shoes my entire life.

If you have barefoot shoes and have been wearing them but also switching back to regular shoes I find when I wear barefoot shoes my bunion joints hurt at night before sleeping and it might be because of barefoot shoes but when I walk around house with no shoes or socks I feel fine.

Should you wear barefoot shoes with bunions?

My bunions hurt both tailor bunions and big toe but they don’t hurt extremely bad probably a 3/10 most days.

When should I get surgery?

They cause more discomfort than the other bunions and I don’t understand why. I’ve got barefoot shoes, I’ve used orthotics, I’ve tried toe spacers and no matter what they still causing discomfort. I’m really dreading having to get surgery and be off my feet for weeks.

I guess fixing over pronation didn’t help my tailor bunions or getting orthotics like they said.

Barefoot shoes for bunions? Or they a scam?

I have worked here for over a year now and as each month goes on I hate it more and more. I am a cart pusher and work at one of the busiest Walmarts in the country everyday is just packed with people and I feel like I am working harder than my wage lol.

The management is terrible. They don’t do anything completely useless siting in their back offices everyday eating McDonald’s and talking about nothing. The store manager shows up once a week for a few hours and never does anything unbelievable these people get paid a lot more than me.

I want to quit so badly but the job market is so bad I’m forced to stay in this job I hate everyday and feel like I have lost my spark for life.

When I go online I see many different answers to this question. Many say it’s impossible without surgery and some say they’ve done it and it’s possible just by strengthening muscles and wearing barefoot shoes.

I have had bunions since a teenager and I am always on my feet for work and lots of running/walking but now my bunions are hurting everyday and I am wondering what to do.

Someone said barefoot shoes will make bunions worse because of over pronation in your foot isn’t addressed unless using orthotics.

I’ve seen lots of people say it’s impossible to correct a bunion, correct the bump, get rid of the pain etc. I was wondering if anyone here corrected a bunion and avoided surgery?
