Answers:
I had bunions when I was younger and they were pretty bad so I had them removed when I was 18. The surgery itself was not bad, the recovery part was what sucked, as long as you take your pain medicine you're fine, it's just that for the first few weeks you have to keep your feet elevated and you can't walk on it for a while. I used crutches for 3 months and after I still had to use a cast. But to me it was all worth it.
I had the surgery about 10 years ago, so the procedure might be different now, plus the recovery will depend on how severe your bunion is, so I would go see a Podiatrist just to see what he tells you.
BTW the Dr. did say that it can eventually affect your knees.
