Thank you for your question, you do have mild to moderate hallux valgus and bunion on the left, and we will have to perform X rays and examination to fully evaluate the severity of your hallux valgus.
The pain that you are experiencing is mainly due to the excessive pressure over the "protruded" part of the left foot from the skating shoes. You might want to customise a pair of the inline skates and ice skates so that the shoes is more conforming, and the material is softer to reduce the pain.
I agreed with Dr. Sean Ng that if you want to make the bunion and hallux valgus "go away", surgery is the only option. However, if you feel that it's not giving too much problem in your daily activities, you can try out hallux valgus splints, which may be able to slow down the progression. You should also avoid high heels shoes and tight shoes which will further worsen the pain and the deformity. Hope this clear some doubts for you!
Cheers,
Dr. Henry Chan
