bunions

Is there an alternative to surgery for bunions?
I have a bunion on both feet, the right is worse. I tripped and fell and injured my foot 3 weeks ago, had an x-ray, no breaks, but the bunion has been very painfull ever since. It was bruised all around the bunion, that is gone now but still cannot seem to wear any shoe without pain.
I do not want to have surgery, can I do something else to help reduce the pain? I have seen those bunion/toe braces that you wear to bed at night.
Is that a good option?

Tuli's Double-Ribbed Pro heel cups are the most advancesd shock absorbing heel cups available today. The primary force of the heel strike is absorbed by the larger and higher waffle pattern while the lower and denser waffle pattern absorbs the high pressure and final force spike of heel strike. Perfect for sports activities.
