I received an email from a visitor who was asking about natural/home remedies for bunion pain. After doing some research online I have compiled a short list which may or may not help with your bunion pain.

Hi,

I’m wondering if you tried any home remedies for the bunion pain before opting for surgery? I really don’t want surgery just yet, and I’m wondering what would help my poor feet!

Thanks!

Well it’s been one month since my last post! I haven’t forgotten about The Bunion Chronicles, I’ve just been so busy with nursing school and work and physiotherapy, and also figured people were tired of reading about my pain!

So I’ve been in school for a little over one week now, and I also went back to work for the first time on Sunday. I work in a deli at a grocery store, and my job involves being on my feet all day. I thought it would be fine after two months, so I had told my boss I would go back on the 13th. I am now feeling that that was a mistake.

So I’m back in school and I’ll be back at work on Sunday. I’ve only been in school for two days and it’s already so hard, I don’t know how I’m going to go back to work.

My foot has been so sore since physio on Tuesday, but I’m just trying to remember that it’s a good hurt. The last couple of days I’ve had a lot of appointments and errands to run and my foot has been painful in the bone that was cut, but truthfully what’s more painful is my heels. I honestly don’t know what’s wrong with them, whether it’s plantar fasciitis or heel spurs or what, but I’m in so much pain every day even after walking for just five minutes and I’m incredibly frustrated.

I recently got an email asking if I’d used any over-the-counter bunion products to help with the pain before considering surgery. I thought that other people might be interested in my response.

Hi there,

I found your website and started reading it because I have bunions too. I don’t think mine are as bad as yours, but I may consider surgery down the road. Did you try any non-surgical methods for pain relief before considering surgery, and if so where did you get them?

Thanks,
Samantha
