Since i was little i’ve had a tailor’s bunion on both of my feet, they’ve only gotten worse with time, well at least the one on my left foot. i fractured my right foot a year ago and my tailor’s bunion seems to have gotten waaay smaller almost gone but not yet. The one on my left foot only got bigger and it hurts me a lot when i walk long distances or stand for too long. I just ran the Chicago half marathon (it was quite painful in the last 2 miles) and am planning to run the Chicago marathon. I know it will hurt, but it’s something i’ve been wanting to do since last yr, only a broken foot got in the way..lol. I’m scared that my bunion will never stop hurting? Should i get surgery (or just break that foot too..haha JP)?? Have you heard of the "Cinderella Procedure? Do you know of any good podiatric surgeons in the chicago area? Problem is, if i do end up needing surgery..both my parents are recently unemployed (i’m 17) and i’m sure we can’t afford a surgery? What to do, what to do? Help please! Any advice would be greatly appreciated! thnx =]

Yes I have heard of the cinderella procedure. Its when they shave off bunions. The reason they call it cinderella is because some people actually have their feet shaved down to make them smaller.
Tailors Bunions are usually caused by either wearing the wrong sized shoe or from wearing high heels. The procedure for bunions is not difficult and the recovery time is practically nothing.
