Bunion Pain And Bunion Relief
 Bunion pain is associated with either shoes that fit too snug pressing against the painful bony growth, or from walking improperly. Most bunions are inherited, especially if you develop them prior to age thirty, and they can be very difficult to get rid of even with invasive and uncomfortable foot surgery. To avoid bunion pain there are several self-help measures you can take:
- If your bunion becomes painful, red and swollen, try using ice on the joint and elevate the foot on a stool.
- Wearing proper shoes for bunions can also help to lessen the pressure on the bunion toe.
- Bunion night splints (bunion regulator, bunion stretcher) can also help reduce the size of the bunion. This will straighten the bunion while you sleep. In the long term it will lessen the pain on your toes.
- A bunion shield (fleecy pads for bunions) can reduce the pain over the bunion, adds like a cushion.
- Spandex bunion sleeves give remarkable relief from the pain and nagging discomfort of bunions.
- Apply moisturizer such as flexitol heel balm twice daily to hard skin or corns and use a pumice stone to reduce the thickness of the hard skin.
