All my life I have worn proper fitting compfortable shoes. Maybe once a year I will wear pointed toe shoes but they are off my feet more than on. Why do I have bunions on both feet?

[Imagofilms]

Bunions are quite common but most irritating. They are caused by an inflammatory process that may or may not be related to shoe apparel. If they cause you discomfort we recommend seeing a specialist in this area. Dr Jonathon Saluta can be reached at (213) 482-2992 or a podiatrist as well- Dr. Wm Pagliano at (213) 481-1888. Please let us know if we can help you further... and best health to you.

Yes, call 1-800-977-7989, and ask for Andrew Dillard. He will help in finding a physician that will work for you and your insurance.

Lol just had both removed in june. If u hav any questuons hit me up. Im 16. One thing i can tell you, severe bunion or not, recovery WILL br close to excruciating, based on your pain tolerance. Once that numbing agent wears off from the surjury, maybe it wears off mid-sleep, u willl wake up, and it is not a good time. Youre thinking "maybe he just had REALLY bad bunions" it doesnt matter. Its gunna hurt but gradually gets better. I feel great right now!!

It hurts even just reading about your toe. You might want to have surgery to get that fix. But the doc is right, it will come back if you're not careful.

[Mari443Garrett]

He's right, they can come back after surgery so you have to be very careful. Mine came back.
