What's unfortunate about that is that the source of the stress may be out of our control. So, how can we take back control of our own physiology when we're not even the ones potentially causing the stress on ourselves? The key is to intentionally implement relaxation into your day.

Ask the Expert:

I have bunions on my feet. Is the surgery to remove my bunions complicated and how long does it take to recover?  

 

Aaron Shemenski, DPM  
More than half the women in
America have bunions, a
common foot deformity often
blamed on wearing tight,
narrow shoes. Bunions cause
the base of your big toe to enlarge and protrude.
The skin over it may be red
and tender. Wearing any type of shoe may be painful. This joint flexes with every step you take.
The bigger your bunion gets, the more it hurts to walk. The big toe may angle toward your second
toe, or even move all the way under it.
