im only 15 and I have large bunions on both my feet, they hurt a lot!! I run a lot, so that could be causing some of the problems.. should I get surgery while its still not so bad.
Also my whole family has had bunion problems.

    JennyI am 45 but when I was 15 I had painful bunions on both feet. I had a double bunionectomy and for several weeks I had pain that anyone would normally have. I was able to walk around after the boot but not jumping or anything. I never had any problems with them again. I was able to wear shoes comfortably again. The pain and aggrevation could be well worth it in the long run. You are young and healthy, don’t wait until you are older and don’t heal as quickly.Donna

    See a competent podiatrist for evaluation. I am 54 yrs old and on 9/16/03 I had bunion removal from my left foot (plagued me for over a decade). My side of the family suffers from severe bunions. It is best to address the problem when one is young (quicker recovery/healing).
