Nancy Spinedi Delledonne and her doctor fill out paperwork before her bunion surgery in 2016 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
DEAR MAYO CLINIC: I developed bunions in my teens, and they have grown over the years. Now I cannot wear shoes without some discomfort. Over the past few months, I’ve noticed throbbing from the bunion on my left foot, although the one on my right foot is fine. My friend who had a bunion surgery said the surgery is invasive, and I’m concerned since I am an active person. Is surgery the only treatment option?
