Hi
If your bunion is painful, there are several ways to try reduce the pain.
One way is medication: anti-inflammatories. You can take some to reduce the inflammation and pain. This may not be permanent, and you may have to continue taking it as necessary.
Bunion straps/ spacers are another alternative, to help reduce the degree of deformity and hence reduce the pain.
Finally, if all the above do not work, you may want to consider surgical correction. Different methods of correction are available, depending on the severity of the bunions.
Hope the above helps.
Kind regards
