So on the outer nuckle of my big toe, i have a large bump called a bunion. what is the fastest way to remove it?

Surgery: The only cure for a bunion is to surgically correct the bone deformity. Pads, splints, orthotic, injection, oral meds and various shoes can help relieve pain associated with the bunion but do not cure it.

No fast way.: Shoe therapies, custom corrective foot orthotics, anti-inflammatory meds or injections, and surgery are the most common ways to correct bunion deformities that are painful.

Fastest: Way if that's what you desire, is surgery. Consult with podiatrist to hear all options.

Surgery: That's the only way to get rid of it. If it hurts, you should have it corrected... If not, you can just live with it. It may get bigger or stay the same, but it won't get smaller. See a podiatrist for as consultation.

Bunion: The fastest way is surgery. See your podiatrist for a consultation . Ask lots of questions and don't be in a hurry - and listen . Healing is involved with surgery and you need to be a participant and understand your role.
