What is the prognosis (outlook) for people with bunions?

Without the right care, like changing your footwear or using orthotics, bunions can get worse over time. If you have severe pain when you walk or stand, you may become sedentary (inactive), which isn’t good for your health or quality of life. Most people get symptom relief with over-the-counter aids or through treatments at a medical office. If needed, surgery can help.
