Much to Consider.: Bunions do not grow over night. You do not wake up one morning and suddenly have a bunion, They take time to develop and begin to hurt when the size hits critical mass. Typically, but not always, shoes tend to be the instigator of all the trouble. The irritation causes the pain and relief comes with removing the irritation. Medication and ice help, but the shoes will have to be reconsidered.
