Nonsurgical treatments that may relieve the pain and pressure of a bunion include: 1  Changing shoes. Wear roomy, comfortable shoes that provide plenty of space for your toes. 2  Padding and taping or splinting. Use over-the-counter, nonmedicated bunion pads. 3  Medications.
Bunions may or may not cause symptoms. A frequent symptom is foot pain in the involved area when walking or wearing shoes; rest relieves this pain. A bunion causes enlargement of the base of the big toe and is usually associated with positioning of the big toe toward the smaller toes. Shoe pressure in this area can cause interment pain while the development of arthritis in more severe bunions can lead to chronic pain. Bunions that cause marked pain are often associated with swelling of the soft tissues, redness, and local tenderness. It is important to note that, in postpubertal men and postmenopausal women, pain at the base of the big toe can be caused by gout and gouty arthritis that is similar to the pain caused by bunions.
