My right foot is bit more turned out than left foot. Right foot has the bunion. I think the pressure is from position of hip joint. Don't know of hip exercise to try correct. Maybe in soles to correct foot? No idea as I'm now 61. Anyone got advice. Thx

So true! Bunions run in my family. My daughter developed them at 8😪!. I noticed that they got better during the pandemic while we're home.

[@annie5741]

@@karlenecowan4694 I'm sorry if this is unsolicited advice but switching to minimalist shoes was the best thing I did this year. Those shoes have enough space for your toes which means that your feet have the space to realign to their natural bunion free position. They also have a flexible sole and zero drop so they help you keep a correct posture.

[@maggieo8499]

Thank you for this informative video, I have developed a bunion on my right foot, and needed to know what caused it,as well as what to do for some relief. I don't think it runs in my family, but I wore high heels for years. (I am 4'9" tall, &it felt(feels)at times like being 'in the land of the giants'!) So, yes I wore them often. I have seldom wore heels in past 5 years, however, but during the past 3yrs, I've had quite a bump appear beside my big R toe. Boy it smarts at times, and the whole area where bump has formed, burns deeply, feeling like, what I would imagine, stepping on a hot coal! I was happy to learn that I may be able to do exercise, and perhaps even help mold or shift the bows there to improve. Yes, sensible footwear is imperative, thanks again for the tips!

I had bunion surgery on both feet years ago. Biggest mistake of my life! Now, the toe next to the big one can't straighten out, and is painful (both feet); and the big toe of the right foot climbs over the toe next to it. Painful and unsightly! Please do your research before having surgery!

[@nidhinayyar5887]

As a podiatrist, I can’t agree with most of this advice! Once bunions developed and you are genetically prone it won’t really reverse but you can do things to help with the pain. Having a bunion doesn’t meant you need surgery however. That is only reserved for people with pain and that is the main thing being treated. Shoe wear makes a difference yes. Weight loss won’t really make a difference. I’m not sure how effective these exercises really are. Bunion pads are great! Again main indication for surgery is pain

[@stefaniakonstantinidou981]

How do you know these methods are not working?????you tried them on your patients and they did not work?? Or you r saying it bc that s what you r taught at school???

[@btdu2789]

Since you are a podiatrist, I want to let you know that a bunch of women I know who had surgeries said it didn't help, and actually theirs didn't go away either. You are in the field, you should come up with something for feet without surgeries, and make lots of money. Start with educating designers not to design weird toe shaped shoes for women.

[@Bambisgf77]

@@btdu2789 they already know that! But not all people will develop bunions despite the shoes they wear. Men have them as well.

[@clara054]

I noticed a bunion on my right foot a few months ago. Incredible as it may seem, it was not because of wearing narrow shoes, but because I wore a boot a size bigger. As I live on a farm with very uneven terrain, I was forcing my support leg, mainly on the slopes, and that is how I hurt my right foot. I feel no pain and it is not swollen, but it is sad to see my foot slightly deformed. I'm using bunions pads and toe separators, and doing the exercises, I hope it gets better.

[@leighanne3385]

Uli Leena I am in the same position and there’s really nothing you can do other than surgery. However, I recommend doing the special exercises and wearing toe spaces to prevent them from growing even further (but note: they won’t shrink unless you take the surgery route). I hear the surgery has an extremely painful recovery so personally I’m not sure if I want to go for that.

[@ulileena6103]

@@leighanne3385 thank you for the confirmation. Thats what i am thinking too. I saw on tv, doctor had to cut it out and made triangle to get the toe in the right position and put the pin on it. My problem now, sometimes all my toes get cramp coz the biggest toes push others further. I will use the toes spaces, hope it helps.

I soaked my feet everyday with warm water for 15 mins, then gently rubbed it with a pumice stone, after I put a few drops of Castor oil on some cotton and bandage it over the affected area... I soaked my feet and used the pumice stone once a day and applied the castor oil two- three times a day. And one day it was gone.. I no longer wear tight shoes so it never returned.
