There are various ways to ease pain of the bunion, and the most simple way to do this is to look at your footwear. Summer months tend to be much more comfortable for patients with bunions because they can wear open-toed shoes and don’t have the pressure effect on the inside of the foot. Winter months, however, lead to more constrictive shoes, and this can cause a lot of pain. Simple ways to address your bunion pain would be to take regular painkillers, to wear shoes that are not too tight-fitting. Massage can be of benefit or even icing in the evening. Ultimately, if you have a significant deformity and ongoing pain, it may be that you require surgery to improve that pain.
