When Is Bunion Surgery Needed?
Surgery might become an option for some patients suffering from bunions. It becomes inevitable when there is a constant recurring pain. If the pain doesn’t go away regardless of what you try, then you might need surgery. Surgery is also needed when the bunion is really limiting your movement.
If the bunion is becoming worse and causing more deformities, then it should be removed through surgery. Also, if the bunion has developed to a point where it becomes extremely hard to find shoes you can wear, then you should consider surgery so you can live a normal life.
The consideration for surgery changes from one patient to another, and sometimes, it is just a matter of personal preference, depending on the needs of a patient.
Conclusion
It is possible to live with bunions, but proper care is needed to ensure that they do not develop to become worse and impede your movement. Surgery might be the permanent solution for those who cannot get relief from all the nonsurgical methods stated here.
