Bunions

I developed a bunion on one foot, and did every exercise imaginable, minimalist shoes, etc. It was very painful. I did accomplish the pain going away completely after 6-8 months. But the appearance of it only changed a little bit. (One of my feet looks like yours). But I believe you can probably change things dramatically for the better, if you keep your expectations realistic.

good comment

I've known several people who have changed the way their big toe can sit - tho if the bunion is more established there may always be a bump there. But until the bony changes have been around for a very long time, it is generally possible to get it working as expected again. I'd say the reason it seems challenging or unlikely is because a) most people just focus on the toe and not mechanics causing it from other places b) most people don't have the expertise to know what to do, and don't locate a provider who can help them or c) most people don't adopt the right type of routines with a long term perspective.

Here's my shift over a few years, where I was getting a bunion forming after walking differently for a couple years after my injury: https://imgur.com/a/c0oBuGu

Best wishes for finding a good path - at first I would focus on just doing things to make it feel nicer/calm it down. Then if you want to consider putting some effort into it, it will be more likely to shift. It can't really adapt to work as expected if its always inflamed - so locating some things that help there would have to be the first step.
