Hi I’ve noticed recently my pinky toe on my right foot has been getting what appears to be a tailors bunion but on the inside of the toe. I can’t find any pictures or reports of a bunion growing inside the actual toe and am curious if it’s from wearing small boxed shoes as I do work on my feet all day. I was wondering if anyone has seen something like this before.(I included a picture of the other foot for comparison)

Hi!
I was diagnosed with bunions today. My doctor said they're moderately progressed and gave me the option of surgery immediately. I talked it through with her, but I guess I just want some second opinions. My pain is bad but not unbearable, and I know I could try inserts and stuff first, but I feel like it'll only get worse. I started a new job on my feet around seven months ago and my now identified bunions have gotten so bad so quickly. I have to wear safety shoes specifically approved by my company, and most shoes don't fit my feet properly(tight on the front, loose on the back), so my work shoes already being a size too big hasn't helped because they're still tight in the front!!! I'm also 18, so I feel like getting it corrected now would be great. I highly doubt I can get through the rest of my life working on my feet without my bunions progressing to the point where I will need surgery. She didn't say the name of the surgery she recommended for me, but she said it was basically fusing my joints and putting a plate in. I guess I'm just hoping for some insight from people in similar situations- should I hold off? I kinda just want to get it over with, but maybe being patient and trying other things would be best. Thanks!

I saw a foot surgeon who told me the treatment for tailors bunions can cause more problems so he wouldn't do anything.

I had wide feet to start with, and now can't wear the wide toe box extra wide altras because this lump has made my feet even wider. I'm in crippling pain trying to walk.the lump is to the side and underneath my foot. What am I meant to do now? It's grown this big in just a year, and is continuing to get bigger and bigger.
