If you’re struggling with bunions, it can be difficult to feel comfortable participating in your normal activities and it can cause you to miss out on the things that you love. Bunions can cause your feet to feel sore and irritated by rubbing against the side of your shoes or making it difficult to walk around. Dr. Steven Lund and Dr. Leslie Rousseau, your podiatrists at Metroplex Foot & Ankle Center in North Richland Hills, Denton, and Fort Worth, TX, can explain how bunions can be treated and how you can ease your pain.
Treating Your Bunion Pain
When you’re dealing with bunions, you may find that the sides of your feet can become irritated from rubbing against your shoes all day. Your podiatrists in North Richland Hills, Denton, and Fort Worth, TX, can recommend some solutions to help ease the pain associated with your bunions.
One of the most important things that you can do to help ease bunion pain is to make sure that you’re wearing properly fitted shoes. This helps stop any irritation that may occur and prevents your feet from becoming sore from tight shoes. You can also place pads on your bunions to help protect them from any friction and irritation.
Your podiatrist may suggest some stretching exercises that you may want to do to help strengthen your feet to stop them from becoming sore and inflamed. In severe cases, your podiatrist may recommend surgery to shave away the excess bone and help realign your foot.
