It appears that I have a bunion on my right foot.  I haven't seen a doctor about it yet, but has anyone had this condition and continued to bike and run?  The pain is increasing and from everything I've read there's really nothing I can do about it.  I don't abuse my feet with poor fitting shoes.  I've seen a couple of braces online that you can wear or sleep in, but I don't know if these really work.

I had bunions on both feet. Had botched surgery on my right and good surgery on my left. Right foot still gives me problems. I run with toe socks for anything over 8 miles. I am looking into getting orthotics. Your podiatrist can help with this. I second the shoes with wide toebox. I run in Mizunos for this reason. Good luck and be careful.
