Ever since I was a little girl, I have wondered why there was a bone protruding from the base of my big toe. No one else seemed to have this. Growing up, I would go to great lengths to make sure no one saw the ugly deformities that I would later learn were bunions.
I would wear closed-toe shoes even though they were more uncomfortable than sandals. I tried to keep my socks on during gymnastics, and I never, ever went to the nail salon with friends. Both my mom and my grandma had them.
With each passing year the pain seems to intensify, and the bunions themselves appear more and more unsightly as my skin continues to stretch over them.

They can be caused by improper footwear like high heels, which force the big toe inward toward the other toes, thus misaligning the joint.

More aggressive treatments for bunions include a surgical procedure that shaves down the bone and realigns the joint. According to amino. I don't expect some magical transformation from only one week of wear. Instead, my main goal for this experiment is pain relief. If the splints end up halting the progression of my bunions, great, but in only a week's time, I think pain relief is my only realistic goal.
I was less than impressed with the flimsy plastic my bunion splints came in. They're not super delicate, but still, they came in a only a thin sheath with no additional padding between the plastic and the splints. I chose this design mainly because of the hinge at the base of the toe.
