  • I've heard about this and many other ailments that plague ballet dancers as a result of the unusual body movements. You must know that no one here is likely to be qualified to give you a good answer. That's really for a podiatrist to evaluate. The doctor has to physically examine your foot to make a decision. As someone who has a job that is hard on the body, I suggest that you start looking into forms of dancing that has less of an impact on your body unless this is your living. You have to think in terms of your whole life. Do you want to live the rest of your life with a list of medical problems?
  • You have to be very careful with bunion surgery (and any kind of surgery in general) as it can leave you with more problems than you had before. If the bunions hurt and have deformed your toes, you should seek the help of a very, very competent surgeon, preferrably, one who has done a satisfactory surgery on someone you know Once you have the surgery done, it will be a while before you can get back on your feet. For starters, you need to be on a cast and then a hard boot for about 45 days.
