I have that familiar feeling again…pain on the inside of my right foot. ( I even got interviewed for Good Houskeeping about it.)
Although I have a bigger bunion on my left, it never hurts. Just the right foot.
The last time it hurt was while training for the FIRST half marathon (in January 2011). It started feeling pain once I went over 6 miles. It gets inflamed and then needs to be rested.
For some reason after that race, it never hurt again (and I ran 4 more halfs) UNTIL NOW!!!
It started to hurt toward the end of my long run on Sunday and has continued to be sore!!!
I haven’t run since Sunday and will try today wearing an older pain of Asics. Wish me luck!!
Happy Running! Anyone else suffer from bunion pain?



Good luck, Darlene. Finally, my knee is getting better…..I ran 2.5 miles today and now your foot hurts. I feel for you. Take care of yourself.

I have bunions and they haven’t heard in forever and they hurt when I wear my new clogs!

My physio is really big on looking at overall gait/ posture / biomechanics to see if there is an underlying cause of bunions.
I have a really slight one on my right foot, but my right foot also has a tendency to turn out slightly and coincidentally my right calf is always tighter than the left.
Apparently tight calf muscles can contribute because your feet try to compensate for a restricted range of motion higher up. I’m probably not explaining correctly!, but it’s worth checking out to avoid the pain 🙂
