I have a bunion on my right foot. It only hurts occasionally (mainly when I've been wearing unsuitable shoes), but I worry it will get worse. I also worry about my ability to do sport, particularly football, with a bunion. Is it worth undergoing a bunion procedure at this stage? Do bunions "get worse"?

Yeah, bunions get worse. I'd try to get it sorted while it's young!

Any condition left untreated has the potential to get worse. However, you can help yourself by wearing flat, comfortable shoes, especially in this hot weather. Your feet go through enough as it is without being subjected to further abuse.
THere are kits on the market to treat them with so avoid pestering your doctor or chiropodist with this just yet

YES!! bunions get worse. i had a small one and had it removed before it got any worse than it already was. from your description, yours is like mine was. if you can afford it, i'd suggest nipping that problem in the bud as soon as you can.

Get it treated as soon as possible. Because now it might be soft.
if it will become structural deformity, it will take more time to get cure

Definatley get it looked at! My father had them, said they didn't really hurt and ignored them. He had both big toes, knuckles replaced last summer, because he ignored the minor pain he felt.
